If your coop is built, I don't think my feeders will work. They are built into the wall. However, the gravity waterer could work for you.

Using a basic 120 qt. cooler as my supply...

And a low pressure fountain...

I have a 3+ week water supply. As far as feeders...this is what mine turned out to be. This idea was borrowed and modicifed from a member here I believe. If you are stick building a coop...use one of the wall cavities (I use 2 actually) as the holder of the feed. I have access from the outside to load the hopper and a dispenser on the inside. So far it's working great.

Outside view....

Dispenser on the inside....

Good luck with your project.

BTW...being a newbie...I hope my pic attaching works!!!

Page 7 has photos of the automatic waterer that my DH installed for me.

We used 2" PVC pipe to make feeders that attach to the wall. There's a 3"->2" reducer at the top as a funnel, then an "L" at the bottom with holes cut out for the chickens to eat out of.

We had to make the holes a bit bigger for the pellets but the crumbles do fine. We just drilled another 1" hole next to the other, made an oval, and it does great now.

I don't have any photos of mine hung up but this is what it looked like when I was working on it.
I hung it up with a chain and eye hook next to the end cap and back at the elbow and used a pipe tie to attach it to the wall. This was just left over material and so easy to cut.
I did have to cut the pipe shorter to fill it at the top though. I'm pretty short!
