My coop is 4x8 ft, I have always kept food inside on a hanging 7lb feeder. This was fine with 6 chickens. When I added 3 more hens over a month ago, I also added a second feeder also inside the coop. All hens get along great. Can I go with one feeder, should I stick with 2? Should I move one feeder outside? I don't want a too crowded coop with winter coming. As a side note, I keep 2, 1 gallon waterers outside in the run.
If I do move a feeder outside, what's a good way to keep it from getting wet, I'm very predator proof with a chicken wired covered run, so moisture is my only enemy.
