Hi ! I have my food in a galvanized container that looks like a long hot dog holder. That is suspended from the ceiling in the coop. I also have water in there (raised off the floor to keep dirt, etc. out. You know how they can fling stuff when they scratch around). It is heated in the winter. I also have a waterer (raised on brick to keep cleaner) outside in the run. They usually go in to roost and lay. Other than that, they are outside. I DO free range them from 2:00- 'til they go in for the night.
One suggestion for the chicken wire. I would bury, or at least bend, some of the wire out from the ground, not in, so any unwanted critters can't dig under it.
