So we have a coop with a run attached. All of which is inside a larger fenced in area. During the day the girls have the whole fenced in area (pretty huge space) to go about their chicken way. We have an attached run on our coop that I'm wondering if I could panel over the hard wire cloth to enclose it, essentially creating a larger coop. We don't need the run as they have so much space outside all day & a couple of my girls have been deciding to roost out in the run at night...which I don't totally mind because it's predator proof....(but to be honest, even predator proof, I just worry bc I know if something can see them so obviously, it'sjust asking them to try & get them I feel like), but once it gets cold (we're in Michigan) they'd need to be in an enclosed coop. The actual coop is good enough/enough space, but just enough...closing in the run would make the coop so much bigger.
Has anyone ever done this? I'm thinking weather treated panels would work but just curious anyones insight.
