Do Perching Chicken Drink During the Night?

[Mr Kingsbury]

We do not have electric service here, so keeping the water ice free over night is impossible, unless I were to get up every few hours (as with everyone else, it's dern cold here now).

Do chickens hop down from their perch for a nighttime sip of water?

 

[Tookie]

They do not get up in the middle of the night to drink.

Or eat.
