The run all deck out in snow. I was afraid the low slope of the roof and the small run, the way it slopes toward the large section of run would give me trouble with rain and sow but so far it's all good.
Fall time and the girls like their all done. They don't mind spending the dreary days inside and dry. The light inside the run is to help keep predators at bay and help me see. The first few days a couple of the girls were a little confused but soon after all go in when it's dark out.
A few Christmas light to make it festive for the girls. (Including me!) The rope light on the inside of the run will stay up year round. I've put heavy clear vinyl up to stop the winds and retain a little warmth from the sun.

Painting the end panels before puting them up was so much easier! Why didn't I think of that before?
Painting in process.
I put pre- painted 1x6 deck boards all around the bottom to help keep predators from prying at the wire there. I have changed the coated 1/2 inch chicken wire out to 1/2 inch hardware cloth that extends 18 inch out. This spring I plan to add a 2 foot extension from that and put crusher run stones all around about 3 inches deep and 3 foot wide to make a nice path and finish off the predator barrier.
