coop ideas with winter in mind

"If you want to envision what a hoop run might look like in a Vermont winter, you might want to check out this site:

Like this but larger with a coop inside the hoop. So the coop will be built inside the run instead of the run being built outside the coop. Thinking outside the box is giving me a headache. Time for a beer.

I will definitely post pictures when I get done with my masterpiece in chicken engineering (or my pile of wood and wire under a pile of snow). Of course no chickens will be harmed either way since my chickens don't exist yet.

Sounds like a good plan. Just remember, chickens will add a considerable amount of humidity, so it will behave differently in many respects with chickens in it that it does when unoccupied.

Good luck, have fun,
