You could have it just in case but it is up to you. Also use a metal feeder with a cover for night to prevent rats. They can chew through plastic. Make sure to predator proof like a maniac, having a chicken get eaten sucks. Your coop is cute, by the way!

Hazel and Onyx are molting. Soooo many feathers!
