Peaches Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 This may be a daft question .... but I've been worrying as I've never had chickens over winter. They are putting themselves in their house at 6.30 pm now, and I let them out in the morning at 6.30-7am, so that's 12 hours without water. Will they get parched, so should I put water in the house with them? I'm loath to leave the house door open as my last girls got taken by a fox in our garden ....

Redwing Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 No they will be fine for that amount of time without water no need to worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks for asking that question (and for the answer) I've been wondering that too. They do seem to have a good drink the moment I let them out but it is good to know that they don't need me to try and fix their glug inside their house.
