G'day from Massachusetts! Looks like we have the same weather as you.

Happy Friday! Just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with my Catawba coop. I live in NE and have 3 Buff Orpingtons in it. The big thing that makes it wonderful is that I used plexiglass for one end of the upper part of the coop where a nest box would go, and made the other side the...
