Hi - I moved my chicks outside to their new coop and they won't go near the food or water, like they are afraid of getting out of their area with the bedding and going over to it! It is really hot and they are panting, I even corralled them over to the water but they just stood there. Finally I put the waterer in the bedding (it is a shallow drawer they can easily hop in and out of)
Any other ideas before they overheat? I'm new to chickens and don't know if they'll figure it out or not - it is the same food and water dispensers that they have been using but they act like they are afraid of that side of the coop.
