@mnbrewdude I would definitely put plastic around your run, coffee 1st and bogtownchick both do that works out wonderful to keep the snow and rain out, keep them dry. here is a photo of bogtownchicks, if I find coffees, i'll post it as well.
bogtownchicks run with plastic
Found coffees.
I'm assuming you have a roof over your run? then it works great. I use greenhouse panels on mine, but that is not feasible for everyone. you can see my set up under my Avatar, click on "My Coop"
Get a big tote, I use a big oval rubber horse feeder from fleet farm)but i've also used totes), fill it with organic peatmoss so they can dustbath in the winter. some people mix in sand and diatomatious (sp) earth.
