Quote: I still have a tarp covering the 6' opening where the double doors will be going. One's ready to hang; working on the other. Waiting for it to warm up a bit before I get after it again; it's downright uncomfortable inside where the sun can't reach.

Not yet. Thought I'd put it out there for the rest to chime in. Eggs and meat would be good. I originally wanted Muscovy but after listening to others maybe not.

For the real cold days here I have a wood stove in the barn. Then use ashes in the coop and roost

Quote: I have an electric heater I can put out there, when I'm not using it in the deer blind, but with the doors unfinished, 3 more pieces of siding to put up near the peak on one end, and the space between rafters unblocked at the top of the wall, it wouldn't do more than waste electricity. I'll probably get one of those propane-fired "Mr. Buddy" heaters at some point.

The site isn't opening all the way. I do see the Khaki ducks. 300 eggs per year is impressive if they do.
