That is one of the feeders I am considering! Thanks for your opinion!

Thanks! I didn't think the metal one bent--that could make it messy and we don't want it to look ugly either as our coop will be beautiful as it is near our house.

Yes it certainly does rain here in the winter!

Our entire coop (henhouse and run) will be completely roofed and have a decent overhang so much of the rain will be kept out of the run. We plan on covering part of the sides of the run when the rainy season comes to help it stay dry even more. I have tossed the idea of having it indoors and think it'll be OK under the henhouse as its raised 30" off the ground and is part of the run. We'll have to see.....
