It's very windy here also. The days with no wind are the days that are taller about. We are in a valley of sorts with trees and houses, so 50-60mph at the nearest NWS station 15 miles west on the prairie is 35-45mph here.Helo![]()
Don't quote me on this but I've been told that they adapt too the cold as long as they have ventilation but no drafts. Their shared body warmth must help
I've ventilated at the top of my coop and their run, which is below is covered for the winter. I've placed their coop by a wall I think will help with the winds that we get here, which are clased as severe being on a mountain.
I have a couple spots in mind to park the chicken tractor for winter for shelter from snow.
It's been a mild winter in regards to snow. We've had a lot going on so haven't built our coop yet. We end up getting chicks in the summer. We won't have time to build the coop before May.
