2 barn yard mixes
and the cockerel
and a ancona bantam but the 2 hens ive had for 3 years dont bother them either does the ancona
they have a bowl in there shed but they usually drink it when they get bored so its all gone, but if they are desperate there is some water right out side there pop holee so all they would have to do is walk out have a drink turn around and go back in
I got two ex battery hens a couple of days before christmas, if you want to see pics etc look on here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=612071, anyways they still wont go outside there pop hole is open at all times, and even when they run out of water they dont go out side...
