Good point......new plastic is stinky, IMO.

@jwlee Is the smell ammonia/chicken poop.....or new plastic?
It’s definitely chicken poop. It’s not raining this week so I lowered them halfway today. The run feels dry but I need to add some wood chips to soak up some poop. Here are some before pics.

The snow fell yesterday. We will get nicer weather this week. Will put up the plastic soon and take pictures. Will also add some Christmas lights which make it a bit festive and add a bit of light in the early morning.

We got about 5 inches of wet snow. It was 18F this morning but it’s in the 40’s now. Cold again overnight then warming up to the low 60’s later this week. Way too warm to wrap the coop. The plastic on your run needs to be lower to allow for more ventilation @jwlee. The cold air isn’t a problem as long as you block the wind from hitting your chickens they will be fine.

I think you’re right. Thanks for the advice!😊
