I'm setting up my coop now and I've seen some people put their feed in the coop and others put it outside. Why do it one way over the other?
 
Inside: if chickens are hot, they might not want to go inside, therefore saving feed. There's natural food outside.
Outside: chickens are outside for like 12 hours a day, and there are bugs and stuff outside anyway. Plus, it will get rained on. I have mine inside and my chickens are very happy. If they are cold, they will huddle inside and not eat any feed.
