Thanks for sharing, that is a good idea, you can remove that easily in the spring. Nice!Good morning! It was sunny and clear, but it's clouded up now.
The first winter I had my chickens, I kept the snow out with a heavy duty tarp over the metal frame I had for my run. I covered the roof with chicken wire, then put the tarp over that. The wire helped support the snow load on the tarp. I broomed it off in the morning to keep it from piling up.
The metal frame was from an unused greenhouse. The supports were 2' apart. I could reach the peak with my push broom to pull the snow down. The tarp was slippery enough that the snow didn't stick well to it.
I don’t remember,, how many chickens do you haveView attachment 3343403
Here's a picture. In the summer, I took one of the tarps off. It took two to cover the whole thing, so I overlapped them over the peak. I wanted some cover from rain, and some shade. You can see the chicken wire over the top. On the sides, I have 2x3 welded wire fence with 1/2" hardware cloth over that.
I can highly recommend these tarps. I got them at TSC, and it's their heavy duty tarp, black/silver. They are tough! Not cheap, but man, this thing is still in great shape. Cheaper ones don't last.
I have 6 hens and a rooster. 3 black Australorps, 2 blue Australorps (?), 1 Jubilee Orpington, and my roo is a Chantecler.I don’t remember,, how many chickens do you have
