Feeding Chickens

Please ensure that you provide your chickens with plenty of fresh water, especially if you keep chickens to lay eggs. Always keep a water dish close to their coop so that it's easy to reach. If chickens don't drink enough water, they can die within a few hours, due to salt toxicity. Chickens won't drink water if it's dirty, so it's essential to check their water dish regularly.
