first time raising chickens and my husband built a chicken tractor. There is lots of food and water all day but can I put them inside the house at dusk with no water and no food. Approximately 8pm to 6am?

They should be fine without food and water, when they go in to roost for the night if it's dark they are basically in a coma for the night and if you let them out early enough they will be fine, I only offer it in the winter inside as they will spend more time inside.first time raising chickens and my husband built a chicken tractor.

Or can they have it outside only? New to the whole thing. I know in the winter they would need water and food in the hen house. But when I am moving my tractor and letting them free range all day do they need to eat at a night?
Thank you
