    Do I need a run?

    The extra context here is so helpful - thank you! There must be ventilation high up that I missed - the previous owners actively used this coop year round, so it must be functional?! - I'll double check to be sure and add if necessary.

    Do I need a run?

    At the coldest, about 10 degrees fahrenheit? We've only been in the Catskills one winter, but it's definitely not as bad as where I'm originally from (Wisconsin). Lots of snow though.

We are in the Catskills in NY so we do get quite a bit of snow; might just need to expand the coop...

    Do I need a run?

    Hi all - we just purchased a home with a 6x8 raised, windowless coop. It's got a front door with a little entry ramp and hatches in the back to access eggs. It feels pretty secure because it's a few feet off the ground, but there's no run. We're free ranging the chickens now, so they're out...
