You could move the coop to the outside and connect it with a tunnel to the run,3 side plywood and 1 side wire. This would free up space in the run and keep you from getting poopy feet when collecting eggs. Add some branches and perches in the run hang the water and food will keep it cleaner. I...

For the winter I wrap my run with heavy canvas and I do the front with a clear shower curtain,keeps the snow and wind out and gives it a green house affect during the day. It actually keeps it warmer than having nothing but it still gets cold but it won't bother them as long as they can get out...

I used a 3 inch elbow,traced around with sharpie and used my dremile tool to cut it out,a little at a time until the fit was tighta little caulking on the inside

I hang a cabbage from a string,it swings around as they peck at it,just hang it high enough so they have to jump a little to reach it,it will keep them busy for hours.

That's exactly what I thought also,I figured I could replace it 4 times for the cost of a fancy one.

I don't know about a cutting board but mine made of wood has worked flawless along with the d20 for 2 years now.

I second that absolutely great job,coop of the week nominee for sure.

Cover the roof with plywood and I wrap the sides of my run with a commercial grade clear shower curtainkeeps the snow out and let's the sunshine in.

New England here also,I wrap my run with commercial grade clear shower curtains keeps the snow and wind out and let's the sunshine in,actually stays a lot warmer,for water i use horizontal nipples in a bucket with a plastic safe stock tank heater it worked great and it got put to the test after...

You could build a run next to the coop and attach it via a tunnel thats how i did mine and it has worked great

Horizontal poultry nipples in a 5 gallon bucket with a small stock tank heater worked great for me.

I built a tunnel going from the coop to the kennel run,sandwiched the chain link in between the wood frame, this pic was still wrapped for winter but you get the idea.

Looks fantastic, I'm sure they will love it

If your ramp is anything like the one in the picture i would recommend a flat board with cleats going across and all the way to the ground. They are probably horrified of the angle and not having enough traction.

Covered run with commercial grade clear shower curtains on the sides,keeps the snow out and let's the sunshine in.

Looks nice, however I wouldn't caulk the edges, they will find it an eat it.

You will need to cover the insulation with paneling or plywood, they will peck and eat it,don't want sick chicks.

The roost should be at least a foot off the wall, if your going to use some type of poop board i would cover the ceiling with chicken wire because they will be all over the rafters and poop containment will be useless at that point.

If you put it on the inside I think you would be ok,on the outside they would have more leverage to possibly break it.

I would put a couple of hot wires around the base of the coop,one good crack from it should keep the dogs from coming back, tractor supply has everything you need.
