Thank you! I live in Pennsylvania where the winters can be either extremely cold, wet and snowy or mild so it all depends. The coop has an upper floor primarily where the roosting will be and the lower floor where the nesting boxes are. We will see what happens, lol.

Thank you! I just remember (so silly) on the show Orange is the New Black where they had chickens and the chickens stopped laying eggs because the whole run was covered and they wanted sunlight. I just want my chickens to be happy! The top of the run - probably hard to see is 100% covered in...
