Do the people who add supplemental lighting have food and water inside the coop? Assuming that the chickens wake up and get active when the lights come on at 4 am, do they need food and water before they are let out of the coop at 7 or 8 am?

Yes, they need feed and water every hour they are awake.
I keep my feed and water in the coop anyway.
