Thanks for the advice. Do you do anything to the run to give it mor protection in the winter? Was thinking of a bit of tarpaulin over the mesh bits. Here's a pic of my coop/run

Hi guys - I had the same dilemma at the start if the summer and have left the pop hole open right through without any issues. Question is now - when should I start closing it again to avoid draughts??
