i gave her some more noodles. she ate them good. no i havent got water and food in there with her at all times because she is in the dark and cant see the stuff. i dont want her to get herself wet by spilling the water on herself. i checked on her after church and she is resting and looks good.

Rosey will get full if you give her more noodles as she stores the food in her crop.

 

[the3ofus+oursixchicks]

thats ok right

 

[SilkieBantams]

Yes it's ok to let her eat alot till she gets full as she will store food in her crop.

When mine was in the dark in the bathroom I kept food and water with her at all times. I could hear her eating at 11pm at night. She had no idea WHAT time it was but still worked out where everything was.

Just use some twisty ties to secure a little bucket of water in the cage (I used a honey pot that had a handle)​

This seriously makes me afraid to get chickens... I'm Going to be calling the local animal hospital (it is located conveniently close, but I hope it won't be necessary) before I get my chicks.
