    Quote: I really like your setup. After a terrible winter with a un-roofed run, I added a polycarbonate roof this spring. Here are some pictures of it. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=55498

    Quote: Thanks, Pam. We miss our lost Pekin everyday. I am going to put a roof on the run (10 x 16) this year so snow won't fall into the pen. Hope that will help them winter better.

    Quote: Thanks, Hillbilly Hen. I added a wire and suspended it from above as a secondary holder. I heard there is a poultry exchange (market) near you but I have never been there. Are there ducks? Thanks again.
