Christmas lights.

I am putting lights around the frame of my main coop, and am definitely going to hang a wreath! My husband thinks I've lost it.

Agreed. My coop is built, and the run is about 75% built, but there are no chicks in there yet, so I won't be decorating it this year. We get our chicks tomorrow and into the inside brooder they go until feathered out. But I can guarantee you, next year the Right Wing Chickens' coop will be decked out.

Beers y'all,
Ken

You can just make out the lights in this photo.

Here's the brochure photo of my coop w/ the red roof. It's super cute w/ the lights on. So festive.

We have white Christmas lights on a sensor around the top of the run year-round. It gives just enough light for us to see what's going on at night ( nothing happens, but that is reassuring.) Doesn't cost much electric.
We are far from the road and it's nice to come back the lane at nite to a bit of glow

I love it. I don't have electricity in the run. I've been meaning to pick up something solar that will hold enough charge to keep the lights on into the evening. Or even swap out to solar LED lights just to give them a glow.​

I put some of the isicle lights around my run both for the decoration and to encourage laying during the dark winter hours. I'll have to post when hubby gets the electrical hooked up out there!

When we had sheep, my husband even ran some lights along the top of their fence. You could see them from the road and the house. They were blue, the type in the tube. Very pretty. I also bought a sheep that lights up, from a nativity scene and tied a big red bow around it's neck. We do the coop, too.

People usually would drive by slowly and a lot of neighbors commented that they liked it. He also often winds a tube of red lights around the post that the livestock gate is hanging on, so it looks like a candy cane. We hang our wreath on the livestock gate that's across the driveway. We're set back from the road a bit, so it shows up better than on the house.

Yup, we have our own style.
