Hello,
Is it better to keep the chicken's food and water inside the house part of the coop or the run part of coop? It seems like most people put them in the run on cinder blocks or hanging from the roof of the run but I have seen where some people put them in the actual housing part.
Is it just a matter of preference? If so, why do you prefer what you prefer?
If you have it in the run, should you still at least put some water in the house part for at night when they are locked up?
My chicken house will just be 4x4 or 4x5 so it will be really cramped with food and water in there but if that is the best way I am sure I can make it work. I also think it would be fine in the run. We have pretty temperate weather so I don't have to worry about the water freezing or anything. I just wonder why people prefer what they prefer.
Thank you,
CJ
