Winterizing a coop

Welcome to BYC, and good luck with your adopted flock.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Depending what part of the state you are on will help to better assist with winterizing. I lived in Spokane for a number of years and the snowfall and temperatures were pretty challenging.

So exciting! Hello and welcome to the community! It's a great place to talk/read about chickens where no one thinks you're [too] cluckin' crazy

Thank You everyone for the suggestions. The girls are doing well, no rain and direct wind into their henhouse. I've drilled 1" holes on the very top of the henhouse covered with chicken wire to offer more ventilation so I can close the doors and not worry about their safety and health.
