A bit early, but I would like to plan ahead. I was hoping that somebody could post pictures perhaps of what they do to winterize their coops. My coop is a "chicken tractor" style coop.... It is a heavily modified version of the Horizon Structures "Pull it coop". I put that in quotes because it weighs like 700 pounds and unless I develop jedi powers or buy a full sized tractor its not moving. Anyhow as you can tell I have mixed feelings about the coop. It is great for the weather now. My girls sleep very comfortably in a breezy well protected structure at night. The breezy part will not be so pleasant once December/January rolls around.

The horizon web site appears to be down atm but I linked it in case it came back online
I was thinking about turning it into a mini green house type deal for the winter. That or using a combination of tarps and clear plastic. Does anybody else or has anybody else tried that on their chicken tractors? I'm open for suggestions and while it is warm I would like to get things ready.
