7 weeks and water

[Baysidegal]

My girls are 7 weeks old and in their hen house for the evening. Should I be furnishing them food and water for them when they are in their hen house for the evening?

I think it's just preference. I only provide water at night but they don't leave roost at night to get water. But I like to have the water in there in case they get up before I let them out in the morning

They don't need it at night since they are asleep. If they are locked in and can't get out to eat and drink for a few hours after it gets light, then at their young age, they will need food and water in the coop. After they are finished growing, they won't need this early feeding.
