    Feed inside coop or not??

    I keep the chicken's feed hanging in a feeder inside the coop, and have 2 waters, one inside, and one outside. I will throw leftover salad and fruit out to them in the yard, but I make sure they eat it all before they go in at night. I also clean out the inside of the coop bi-weekly, making...
