    Do i feed and water inside coop?

    I like to feed inside. They can always get inside, but they can't always get outside. I do give their summer time treats in the run, or in the yard when we are out with them. I have kept food and water in both places. I have notice that my chickens seem to prefer outside for some reason. And...

    Official BYC Poll: With Winter Upon Us, What Preparations Have You Made For Your Chickens?

    I fenced off an 8x8 area in my insulated garage for my 3 girls, then installed a doggie door that leads out to their run.
