Just throwing in my 2cents worth from your other 'next-door-neighbor,' over here in the Buckeye State about the feeder and waterer in coop or run...I do have mine in both coops, for a couple of reasons. Visiting sparrows were cleaning them out during the day--I don't mind feeding the wild birds at the wild birdfeeders...not my Layena. That combined with wet weather made it necessary to move feeders inside. I only have one run for the bantams that's covered/enclosed, so I do leave the water out in that one, but feeder is inside there too--mainly because of a terrible experience with marauding raccoons that slaughtered my dd's bantam cochins, Sultan and Silkie in their search for food (they were able to climb a 7' fence, push open a chain link kennel door and then lift up the guillotine door to find them....
Anyways, if your runs are enclosed and varmint proof you are in good shape...if not....
