This is a good point. So long as the food/water is properly protected/sheltered, then outside is fine. If not and you have the space, then it may be best to keep the food/water in the coop.I live in a cold climate and I feel better knowing they don't have to go out in the cold, snow, and rain to get to their food and water.
Basically the title. When I lock the chickens in the coop at night should I bring their food and water in as well or do I leave those out in the enclosed run?
I do the same. No sense leaving food out and attracting rodents and/or wildlife to the run.Really depends on your set up. To discourage rodents and pest birds from hanging around I remove all feed at night (inside and outside). Water simply stays out the run full time, I have an auto door since we get up late.
