Building my new run and coop

[Blondiebird526]

So I am so excited that today I am building my new run and coop but I have some final questions. I will have access to food and water at all times in the run area but do I also need it in the coop?

Not if your run is fully predator proof and the flock can access food and water as soon as they come off the roost.

They only need food and water when awake, but don't stress over micromanaging it. Mine have water available as soon as the pop door opens (programmed for 7:45 AM) but no food until I'm up and available to bring it out (roughly 9-9:30 AM), as I don't leave food out so as to not attract pests.
