    Should I have water and feed in the coop? Pro's & Con's

    As far as feeding goes, I always fed my chickens outside and used a treadle feeder. It is rodent proof and it has been outside in the rain and snow and the feed never got wet. It didn't take the chickens long to learn how to use it...
