Yesterday, I started working on enclosing the chicken run in preparation for winter.
I was able to enclose most of it yesterday until I ran out of shower curtains.
That job was completed today and next I'll start working on the turkey run.
You can see in the photo that I rolled up a section of the plastic since it's still warm during the day + Li'l Daddy rooster likes to roost there when he welcomes the day with his morning scream. I don't want to prevent him from doing that just yet. As we get consistently cold days, I'll unroll that flap.
It's amazing how cozy it is in the run with the pine needle flooring and the enclosed sides. I think this will really benefit the birds this winter.
Plus, we won't have to worry about digging out snow from the run.
