Just wondered what I should do?
My hens have gone to roost just now, should I put feed and water in the coop overnight? 4 are roosting high up and two are in nest boxes.
These are 'point of lay pulletts' only 19-20 weeks old and I only have them 3 days.

I keep water and feed inside the coop and accessible 24/7. In fact, I have two waterers inside (one large, one small), and two outside, and two separate feeders, because the hens near the top of the pecking order won't always let the younger/lower ones near it. Hens can be so mean.

I don't like keeping feed in the run because other critters take it away. Chipmunks, mice and red squirrels can make it through the fence, and they're little pigs.
