Hi there! I’ve gotten many answers (and, as I, too, am learning, the ultimate answer needs to work for me …). Keeping food in coop can attract rodents - and I would like to avoid that. Folks have also said unless weather conditions dictate, food should be in the run because chickens sleep in the coop … the thing I’m struggling with right now is whether to remove the food from the run at night especially where I’m planning on installing an automatic door … I don’t want to attract mice or predators, although the run is very secure … so much to think about but trying not to overthink …I am also curious, I just got my chicks 2 weeks ago, so this is the first I’ve heard of no feed in the coop, have you got an answer yet as to why not? Maybe I am over feeding my chicks, should I take the feed out at night? Great thread, but now I am confused and have so many more questions. Lol
