1 - 2 gallon water in coop
1- 10 gallon? water in run
1- feed bowl given in the AM, vegetables/greens/grass...everything & the kitchen sink throughout the day![]()
crops are full at bed time & everyone seems content...but they always "act" hungry, they are chickens & are always looking for the handout
Auroradream almost made me snort with her comment. Did you see how the coffee got into my eyes?

I tried to cover that there is food inside the coop, and once I release the hounds in the morning, the chicks stay back while the big ones rush to the first feed bowl. As I fill more bowls, the birds split up, and the chicks go where they can. Meanwhile, they eat the remnants from the feeder and bowl closest to the coop.
I guess the whole dinosaur thing kicks in. Though it's more like squirrels. They save the food in the coop for overnight.
