Beautiful coop , The snow is also lovely. I live in Georgia snow doesn't happen that often and when it does it is only a couple of inches. Where are you located? Love the coop. I feed mine once a day usually in the morning . I will have to change that to evening or treat time to get them in. Thanks for the tips.We kept our chicks in the garage till they had full feathers. Then moved them to the coop with a run that's covered and closed. We let them free range at three months I think. No fence, totally free range. We leave the run door open with water in the run. We live right next to a state part (6feet) with lots of predators. I think we only lost 1 to a hawk out of 21 chickens and 5 guiness.
We lock them up good before dusk!!!! Don't feed them in the afternoon and then they will come in at dinner time. In the summer we only feed them at night due to free range diet. We keep them free range on our pasture. They prefer the woods.
This is our coop we build last summer: good luck
