I have had to take over looking after 3 chickens from a friend and I want to ensure my setup is ok.
I have a chicken house with wood shavings in one side and hay in the laying (?) area. I was thinking I might replace this with straw as it is getting colder here and I know straw doesn't get as moist as hay.
I have a small feeder. Should this be kept out of the rain so the feed stays dry?
I also have a water container. How often should the water be refreshed? Is it also likely to freeze in the winter? It gets below 0C here in north Germany.
