How do these open air coops work in WI winters, or do they go into the more enclosed barn for the winter?
I am trying to plan for the single comb roosters for winter, we had frostbite issues last year. :-(
Yes, everything goes into an enclosed barn for the winter, it has a 4 x 4 door...

Nice coops!
A bit off topic, but at times I misss my Icelandic sheep. Really to hot here for them.
My Buckeyes, and all birds, have faired well in this heat. We have the kids fill water 3 times a day.
I used to have ICELANDIC SHEEP, ICELANDIC CHICKENS, and an ICELANDIC x GYPSY HORSE...
1 new coop is done, the Red Barn is on the other end of the property(all fenced for the chickens), along with my brooder shed. Everybody is sharing the coops and barn now! I took these pics last night before doing chores. In the process of adding some more 8x8 coops with runs.

"Buck" was given to my children by a wonderful lady, originally from Ohio, Jen Scott. These victories should have been Jen's. My children fully understand they are winning off of Jen's labors. It is most appreciated! The least they could do today was to offer up a free...
I do not grow peas, I just work at a seed retail/wholesale company over the winter. And do landscaping during the summer along with chickens... I added light sussex to the flock this year, and I am also looking to get some buckeyes, but I need to purchase from an NPIP flock. I contacted...
