I just got started raising chickens. I have 4 16-week old hens and am wondering about the best way to feed/water them. When they
were chicks, I had these:
And now I have:
Which are both large and take up a lot of room in the coop:
I have a large run which is approx. 30'x15' and have the large waterer and feeder sitting on blocks and leave the little chick-waterer in the coop. I worry about pests although I have not seen any yet. We do have foxes and raccoons in the area so I suspect that it is only a matter of time before they discover the coop. I wonder if hanging the feeder would be best if I'm going to keep it outside? If so, any advice?
