does this sound ok, for my chickens.

[happyhens44]

I have 2 broodies, so now i have to have a different eating and drinking plan. I have the hanging feeder in the coop, Then out back, I open up the run area thing. and then I open up the front door of the coop and outside in the front is where I put the water. and I sprinkle some mash out there. Ive reconized when I open up all this area for them to run when I go to feed them its better for the broodies so they dont get beat on by the flock.
I like the water outside because then they dont get their hay in the coop all wet

Just though i would share this, Does it sound like a good idea i had?

My chickens freerange, so if one goes broody, she usually just disappears. They tend to come out once a day, around midday, to eat and drink, for about 15 minutes, and it's up to them to find the buried scratch.

Unless you have a dedicated area for them, there's no way that you can give them separate feed and water, which the other chickens will leave alone.
