my coop and run are one whole unit sharing the same roof. right now i keep the coop pop door open all day/night. it is preditor safe. i keep no food or water in coop just the run. but when winter comes this year will i have to close up the coop at night to prevent cold drafts and open it in the morning? but when i leave for work it will still be dark and cold, will they be ok? oh and i was planning on wrapping to run section with plastic to keep out wind in the run. i do live near st louis so it get cold but not Maine cold. what do you do, open coop door before work or have some type of auto door opener? as far as food and water i would like to keep it out in the run so i can keep the coop dry and clean. but i do need a water heater. any tips info would be nice.
