I’m not sure what the temp was this morning but I know when I scrubbed out the chicken water buckets my hands only let me do two of them! It’s fun spending some time with chickens! I really miss having them here!

 

[pennyJo1960]

then why did you get rid of yours?

Contemplating whether

or not I nee more snow support for the top of the run




Dec. 3 2022 I had to use a hoe and pull snow off from the inside, reaching in between the hardwire cloth,, that is where all the piles came from- me pulling off snow-

We did add more bracing so it better supported the side poles/posts--

you can see it in this pic

We roofed our run in with that corrugated stuff. Keeps the snow out altogether. I'm not sure what else you can do. Looks like a nice run!

Im only netted on the one run and made sure it was 2 inch netting so more snow gets through so I have to shake it a little less. I don't know what to do with hardware cloth roof.

Silkies are fully covered with the hooped roof so I just have to rake that if it gets to around a foot. It will hold 2 and not fall but easier to remove when less.

I only have big birds now they have the yard daily no run to cover.

Of course, now that it’s in the 30’s outside, our heat pump is acting up. We are on the emergency backup heat. Called the repair guy. This pump is less than 5 years old so cannot be too serious. Still, not a convenient time. Is it ever??
