Wrapped for Winter

[HowIsItDone]

Not every year but at least 4 out of 10 years.

You must love your chickens!

That would be great!

That's nice!
How high will the snow pile up there, by the end of the season?

It depends. Last year there wasn't the usual amount of snow. We can get a couple feet in one storm or have bare ground in mid-January.

That's another winter thing. I use a push broom to pull the snow off the roof of the run and coop whenever we get any. Even an inch. That way it can't compact down into ice.

Good idea.

I do. They bring me a lot of garden company, make me breakfast, are humorous to watch and beautiful to look at.

My husband made wooden frames and stapled the plastic onto them. We out them up gradually as the weather gets colder. A couple of them have plexi glass and are hinged so we can open them on nicer days.

That's a good idea! More flexible as weather changes.
Nice place!

Can anyone tell me what kind of breed of chickens these are
