Hi all. I started a thread and we are receiving loads of help for the many issues with our well-built but stupidly designed supposedly Amish-built coop by HenHouse collection.
I’m starting this thread so it’s all about the run room in the winter. We haven’t decided if we should free range or not. The neighbor has dogs which rarely come over. We do hear hawks lately. We def have foxes and raccoons etc. our run is so tiny we either have to add something or add an automatic door and let the girls out when they are old enough and hope they go back to the coop at night before the door closes.
Also worried about winter, when there is snow etc. If we add a run, it either needs to be somehow easy to remove so we can clear snow and reach the mini run door to clean in there or it needs to be walk-in. Any ideas?
