We divided our shed with a wall just as @MROO mentioned. My shed is an A frame roof so less angles to worry about.
Left over hardware cloth blocks off the top half and still allows air circulation. The door was also a scavenged leftover too.
My growing zone is 6 borderline 5 so similar-ish...
I have a pack of those elastic things with the ball on them. I remove the ball and use the elastic loop to hold our fence gate open when needed. The elastic lives out in the elements 24x7 and I usually end up replacing with a new elastic every 8 or 9 months, not quite a year.

I was training Lulu to “target” or place a paw on things. I asked for one paw on top of the bucket and got a “Hold my kibble!!” All four paws on the bucket.
I put a barn fan attached to the roof of my run. It kicks on when the temp in the run reaches 80° as measured by a temp/humidity sensor (white thing hanging on the support beam near the coop).

Can anyone speak to how water glazed eggs are to be hard boiled a few months after being in storage?

My flock is mixed. I have 7 housed in technically room for 9 or 10. Four are from the original group and are two years old. Three were added spring of last year.
I can't free range either.
I've treated for mites, I've rehomed (brown leghorns and black Sumatra breeds never ever again), I've...
@DobieLover She’s been doing the broody clucks for about a week or so. There was a day or two where she wasn’t the first one to the treats as she usually is.
But she’s back at bowling everyone over like a steamroller to get to the cucumber slices today. And her face/comb are getting redder...
I’ve also seen people posting in local Facebook groups for tree companies to come drop off chips.
ChipDrop isn’t very active in my area either and I may just call the company that did our trees to let them know if they are in the area they can dump at my place. My pile is starting to get low...
