I’ve been reading up on making a hoop coop to expand our BYC operation. I have a wooden Amish-built coop, but it’s a max capacity with the 16 we have now. I’m interested in building a permanent hoop coop to house my next flock. However, even if it has areas covered in tarps will the chickens be okay through the winter?
I am located in Central Michigan, USA and we have a tendency to have weather below freezing and lots of snow. Would a hoop coop ever be an option for us? My husband keeps saying the chickens would freeze to death so I would love some stories from the experts. I’m hoping it will be an affordable option for us but won’t move forward if we can’t make it safe and comfortable. Thanks in Advance!
