Wait... frogs so big they’ll EAT CHICKS?!? Omg. Eeeeek.Just substitute the words children for chickens and think about what you would do if your children wanted water during the night....tell them to wait until morning? I have a shed with a large enclosure with a doggie door. I stapled the plastic flap so they can go in and out. One day it had fell down and they could not get to their water and I felt so bad for them. It was in the winter so they were fine. They also have ac in the shed for the Arizona summers and for water they have one of those turtle sandboxes that they can stand in. For chicks I was really bad. I kept them in my sauna tub for way too long then put them in a large metal outdoor kennel with small opening wire at the bottom so they could not get out and the frogs would not eat them. I get so many frogs its unbelievable but I guess they like it here.
sounds like you’re a good chicken mom or dad!
