The ark is one with the roost above the run and isn't a huge amount of space "upstairs" Back to top nigel Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 2500 Location: Skåne, Sweden Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:20 pm    Post subject: I always leave the water in the run never the coup it makes too much of a mess. Once they go to roost they are semi comatose anyway so don't need water.
