New chicken merging together!!
« on: November 05, 2010, 15:50 »
Just to let you know that after 23days!!! 3 of the 4 new hens decided to put their beaks out of the coop and investigate the big wide world.  I tried everything members suggested but between the 2 sets of hens it was just a 'stand-off' :(
Hopefully in the next few days all 4 will will venture out and mix  ::)

Whilst writing, please could you let me know whether there should be some water in their coop overnight,or do chickens just perch and sleep?

Cheers

Goodness that is a very long time to stay inside...

You really don't need any food or water in the house for your birds over night. the will be fine. Of course I don't know how you are set up for your hens but I can only assume you were feeding your new girls inside. If you keep all the food and water outside they will have to come out for sustenance.
