    Roosting for winter with a mixed flock

    The corrugated polycarbonate roof has been so nice & bright- as long as you keep the leaves off. I did just add another piece of wood to enclose 2/3 of the front of the outer roosting area, and they all seemed fine with it so far.

    Thank you! I have been a member for awhile & have appreciated so much I have learned already! We are in North Georgia. (Sorry- that would be important info. to include ;). It's generally mild with average temperature in the 40's & 50's.
