Thanks, I will have to check out the pool cover idea. My only concern is we get quite a bit of snow during the winter so I might have to build some sort of roof structure to support the weight. Not sure if the pool cover can hold the weight.

Hi all, First post here, probably of many as I have poultry fever. :) I have two dog houses that I have converted in duck houses for my three khaki campbells and four welsh harlequins. We have them in a 20x20 dog kennel run/ i know i need to bury some chicken wire along the bottom so...
