Planning in trying out these Greenhouses as poultry runs and coops.
This 20' L x 10' W x 7' T will be a run covered in wire mesh and hardware cloth. I plan to try leaving the green cover on during winter to see how it holds up and to see if it makes winter easier on my flock. I'll leave one of the long sides rolled up for maximum ventilation and adjust it as needed. I plan to put this greenhouse run between my Garage and the Neighbors house. Keeps wind off two sides! Come spring I'll remove the green cover.
It'll look similar to this image when the green cover is removed exposing the wire mesh. Of course I'll have to frame the door for entry to the run.

I also plan to try out this Small Green House as a coop attached to the run above. This greenhouse coop will be the doorway into the big hoop greenhouse/ run
It's Called: 8 Shelves 3 Tiers Walk In Door Outdoor Green House for Planter Portable
It's 4.5' wide x 4.5' long x 7' tall.
It's really cheap price, so I don't expect much from it. I plan to frame out a front and back door and windows. I will cut out the windows in the green cover and staple the green cover to the frame of the windows and doors. I plan to layer the frame with thick plastic for better thickness before putting on the Green Cover. It comes with 8 shelves which can be used for nesting boxes and the ducks to climb on.
If all goes well with this experiment, I plan to buy more and setup breeding groups come spring. A local neighbor (over a mile away) uses these greenhouses but for his plants and says they hold up great. So hopefully I get the same luck! I will embrace the Greenhouses as needed.
