My coops stay open all day, too, but they are too pig headed to go in them. They apparently prefer to look like drowned rats! I wish the Silkies had an indoor pen... (hint, hint...)

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

What a good boy you are!

think she is saying she wants a hammer and skill saw for christmas bro!!!

Why would she ask for that? She has a hammer and skill saw and a perfectly wonderful DH that would LOVE to build a indoor silkie pen for her for a Christmas gift-Right Jeremy?

She may not want it, but I could use a new saw!

All the coops stay open during the day so they have ALOT of places to stay dry-they just dont-ding dongs... The silkies are now in an indoor pen so they are good They just have alot of new feathering to do because I free ranged them all Spring and Summer-ruined alot of feathers:-(

After our first run turned into a muddy mess our new run is lined with gravel which has worked great at reducing the mud and standing water even when it downpoors.

All of our chickens live in tractors, except for the Silkies, so they get moved every other day and don't have a chance to get muddy.
