Looks like someone else liked your straw bales!
All I did with my tractor last year was cover it with some cheap shower curtains and put some straw bales around the bottom to block most of the wind from where it was open. Only problem I had with it was one spot in it were the girls were roosting up against the steel siding roof, getting some frostbite on their combs. a big hunk of cardboard took care of that issue.
My bad!!!
That would be my chicken herding specialist. Mini Aussie Shepherd. She loves going out to check on her chickies.
Did you have to order plastic sheeting? I picked mine up at Home Depot in Billings. Comes in many sizes and lengths.I still have two, sometimes three that have done the same thing since they were 4 weeks old, LG. Think those might be some of the ones my brother will be gifted with in a couple of weeks! He's chomping at the bit..I reminded him last night to get the separation pen set up before they get there. I don't think he's expecting the size of these Brahma pullets!We are still waiting for the clear tarp we ordered to get here. Better hurry, winter's drawing nearer. But we did get the water set up done so that's one thing out of the way for winter. We also got the sidewall vent blocked for winter. That's the only ventilation opening I close during the winter because it's 8 inches wide and 26 inches high, it's on the north side of the coop, and blows directly onto one of the roosts. Not good. All the rest stay open. Well, we do close the windows on whichever side the wind is howling in from, but any on the lee side remain open.
Aha!!! I was looking for that this fall and couldn't find it to order. So did my own thing with duck tape, a hole punch and zip ties. It works, but don't want to do it all over again next winter
