feed and water in the run and coop?

[guillemette]

So I have a question about if I should have food and water in the run and coop?they will have access to the coop at all times. is it ok just to have one set in the coop? I was just going to use one feeder for my 8 that I have. Then a water in both the run a d coop. I am also planing on feeding some limited scratch grains thrown in the run more for entertainment for them in the run. Any suggestions?

I feed in the runs, it keeps the coops cleaner.

I have always had food & water in the coop only. Birds have access at dawn, whether I get out there late to open their door or not. Don't have a mess with food & never had them spill water. They spent up to 4 weeks in their coop the past 2 winters, because of deep & blowing snow, so inside is where it has to be for me.

That's what I was thinking no need for two I'll just leave the one feeder in the coop with the waterer that's in there now. I think i will make a pvc watered with nipples for them to have access to water in the run. Thanks for the help
