Well, it looks like we still have a few hours to go before it's done, and it's still billowing away out there.
This is when it was first starting at sun-up.
I put up 6 mil clear plastic with a staple-hammer on all of my coops- the people doors are on the north. The plastic is fastened to the ground with garden staples. It makes a tunnel in front of the doors so no drifts occur and it blocks the 30mph winds. If you do it so its sides hang down so you can garden staple them to the ground, too, it will stay up even in nasty winds.
I did the same with the tiny broody coop my 2 mommas were in, but it got so horrible out I put them in the banty shanty, because I fully enclose the run for those kids in plastic during the winter so they have a bigger inside space. It's a good thing, too, as it's 2 feet deep on top of the plastic!!
YUK!!
