Newbie needs watering help

[sal615]

Hi everyone I will be getting my first girls on Friday we are very excited I have finished my coop with a run the run is under a roof. My question is to I need to supply water in the coop for night time or is the water in the run during the day enough for them?

I'd have the water out during the day and night, Just in case you forget to put it out!

Thats how my chickens are!

ditto! My girls are usually awake and having breakfast before I get up. I keep food and water available for them 24/7 but my coop is big enough that I can lock it inside with them. Sometimes if you have a space issue you might not be able to do that.

If you are a very early riser and beat them out it might not be an issue but especially in the warm/hot months I always make sure they have water access.

I keep the food inside and the water outside. They like a drink in the morning and go for the bucket waterer first thing when they get out.

Keeps he coop dry and there's more room inside too.
