Winter coop problems

One thing I discovered today though is since there’s a strong cross wind with this front moving in, that air is coming in the two windows in the front doors and blowing across the top and middle roosts,

Then baffling the windows with burlap or furnace filter would be a very good idea.

That would still allow some fresh air to move through but not permit actual wind.

I did this and it works very well.

I did this and it works very well.

I lowered the overhang on the windows last night. I left them open enough to allow air in and out but still block the majority of the actual wind. It seemed to make a pretty good difference for the night and during the day today. Heading to the hardware store this afternoon to get furnace filter - we have a geothermal unit, so don’t have anything like that laying around.
