Waterer and Feeder for coop vs brooder

[pipsqueekPDX]

I'm about to move my girls outside into their coop, and had a few questions about feeders and waterers. 1. should they upgrade to a bigger size? I have those quart-sized upside down mason jar feeder (with several small holes) and waterer. Are those ok for the coop? Do they need bigger feeder/waterer set up? As far as the water, could I just put a shallow dish out there? Also, do you all like to put the water in the hen house or in the run? Thanks!

I upgraded to a larger size. Then you don't have to fill them as often and they are less likely to knock the water over.
I keep the food and water in the run to avoid a mess in their small coop. I put the food away at night in a secure container so as not to attract pests and then hang it up in the morning when I let them out of the coop.

Upgrade sounds good. I always like big. I have feed and water in the chicken house, run, and chicken yard.

The little ones I had in the brooder are much smaller than the ones I use in our coop.
