Water and food at night

[Isabella F]

My 7 chicks have just moved out and I was wondering if they need food and water at night. Should I move the food and water to their sleeping space? ( right now its just outside of the coop) will they new the option of it at night?

No they don't need it at night, it should be dark when their sleeping anyway. The only reason to not leave it in the run, is if rodents are able to get in your run and eat it during the night.

I never move their food and water to their sleeping space----if they are like mine and are in the dark----they can not see to eat/drink.
