HI @pollitos2013 ! I was born in MI and my grandma's farm overlooked Lake Charlevoix. I now live in the northwoods of WI so we deal with about the same snow load. My chooks are bit spoiled as they have my greenhouse to play in the winter with a clear panel roofed "breezeway" between it and the coop so their litttle chookie toes don't have to touch snow if they don't want to. I haven't covered my run yet, tho I had hoped to use Alaskan's "concrete fence" (around here it's referred to as "rebar") before winter but it has been delayed till spring. I tried the tarp on the fence to block the wind etc. but without a roof as well it didn't do much but give the snow something to pile up against. That was of course, until the snow got so deep it didn't matter. Think they will just have to be happy with the area we always plow for the pup to exercise in which is also part of their "outer" play yard around the gardens in the summertime. this is my winter set up for the girls. The "breezeway" is tarped in on the back side and my workshop blocks the wind, etc. from blowing in on the gate side and I put clear plastic on the gate and fence section. The other pic is the area we plow for the puppy (not done completely when this pic was taken). That is my workshop/sunshed in the foreground. South side of the roof is clear greenhouse panels making it toasty warm to work in on the coldest winter day with just even a bit of sunshine.

Nice set up. I miss the snow but having critters I don't miss it too much.

And thank you for the photos too - they really help

Cute chickie.

Best "Happy Dance" I can do right now (notice the feet not leaving the floor)

BUT!!!

I am vertical!!! I am a bi-ped again!!!

Well, getting there anyway.
Finally got the ok to put weight on my ankle but I'm still in the walking cast boot
for another 4-6 weeks. I have a bunch of exercises to do of course but I am
actually looking forward to it. The sooner I can get back to being vertical all the
time. My surgeon warned me to not go too fast so I will be " " a bit longer
but hopefully I will be on my sweetie's arm by the holidays!

@chickisoup I am so super happy for you!

 

[3goodeggs]

Great!
I can not imagine how frustrating it has been, but don't try to get all caught up... now that you are up.
listen to the surgeon.

Yay, good to hear. As someone who didn't,t do all the exercises when I broke my arm, I strongly suggest that you do all of them.

Yay for being vertical! Yay for hubbies that let you lean on them (not to mention it's romantic!)
