I made my 1st run out of chain link dog fence panels, put rafters on it and roofed it,the coop in totally inside the run,they only sleep and lay eggs in there,they are free to roam the run when they wake up until they go to bed,i do free range on my off days all day long and on the days I work they get an hour or so after I get home to run the yard...I have six 7 months old chickens 3 are BO roos and 3 are RSL hens, that is why I got 15 more females BO so the guys would not be fighting for "rights", so with my coop enclosed in the run I still need to make vent holes at top of coop and close all walls, except for pop door and windows is that correct,this is our 1st winter and this is the 2nd night in a row of 30^ temp ,i just want to make double sure I am doing right for them
