    Northern KY Winterizing questions for small coop

    That is an awesome coop! Yes. The top is now full of pine needles and pine cones. It would be quite a process to blow them off as they are all intertwined in the netting now. Looks like an army bunker from inside. Lol. We will tarp a section over the coop this year and hope our snow isn't too...

    Northern KY Winterizing questions for small coop

    It's going down to 21 degrees tonight and they have lived all summer and fall in 90 degrees down to about 40 degrees. I hope they will be OK. It will then go to the teens here for the rest of the week.

    Northern KY Winterizing questions for small coop

    This is my first winter with the 5 girls and I am preparing for 0-30 degree averages in Dec, Jan and Feb. I covered the wire sides of the ground floor of the coop (only approx. 75% of it so as to provide ventilation) with plexiglass sheets to cut down on wind in the roost. I will soon place...

    Thanks for your post. I read more about the DE and will skip it altogether.

    Thank you for the information. It seems that the coop is working out OK so far. I leave the pop door open within the run and they come and go at will. So far no sign of a predator other than an attempted hawk attack last summer while I had them in the yard. Last time for that and that's when...
