Water, Feed in coop or run?

[Renthorin]

Their layer feed is in the coop so the chipmonks don't eat it. Dirty little rats! They have a 5-gallon water source in the coop too so if I forget or for some reason don't open the door to the run, they're fine.

In the run they have a 2-gallon rubber bowl that I keep filled with water. Even though they have water in the coop, and do drink it, they all rush for the outside water in the morning.

I throw oats, bos, bird seed, etc both in the run and in the coop. Veggie scraps and such go in the paddock attached to the run.

I keep water in all of the runs. I keep water and feed in the raised open/air coop. I keep water and feed in the chicken house. I keep water and feed in the large dog kennels/runs where the baby ducks are.

Has anyone tried the 5 gallon heated drinkers in the winter?
