That would not stand up in these mountain winds that we get and the 35 below wind chills. lol Believe me, I've tried many things. It is like a 10 mile area here that really gets hit with it.Jim,
I didn't have any frostbite problems this year - even with the bitter temps getting below zero.
I use a heavy clear vinyl in the winter attached with Velcro. I loosen the bottom on most days and roll it up. Then roll it down again at night.
This provides great air circulation and yet really holds enough warmth in at night.
On the rare occasion it didn't get above 20, I'd simply raise only the top flaps... it all depends on the temperature and amount of sun on a given day.
All vinyl is off for the summer now of course.
Here's a pic I took mid-winter when I was breeding. Hatched a few hundred eggs from these pens Jan thru March.
Jim
I do want to say that I really do like those pens.
Fred,
The juveniles are really nice. Keep up the good work.
