I don't think you will need such a large feeder for only 2 hens.

Hi
I was new to chicken keeping and only got my 4 chickens in august, I got loads of advice and help on here and fingers crossed it has been great, no illness or worries at all and they are all still laying every day which to me means I cant be mucking it up too much  :lol:

I have 2 amberlinks and 2 bovan goldlines and am very happy with em, full of personality and laying well too. (large brown eggs) I would suggest 3 birds instead of 2 due to them being happiest in bigger groups and they will keep warm more easily.  

I didnt get fancy chicken feeders and drinkers I just use a big black bucket for water in their run and in their house I have an icecream tub with water in it, it has to be big enough not to tip over.  I use an old baking tray to put thier layers pellets on outside and it goes in a part of the run that doesnt get wet.  

I give them an old deep cereal bowl with grit in and another with oestra grit and I put cider vinegar in their water every time I change it.

I dont think you will regret haing chickens I love it now!
ok so I know its a daft question but Im cute ......
