Second Try

Backyard Poultry
Design #2
This tarp design worked a little better. Sorry I don’t have a better picture. This one is attached to the shed wall right above the run, over the straw bales, and held down by crates. The only drawback was having to clear the snow off as it accumulated so as not to bend and break the runs. The one around back of the shed was attached right below the window, slanting a bit over both runs, so the snow slid off somewhat. I still couldn’t let them in really severe weather, like when it got down to 0 or 5 above outside, but then they were pretty happy to hunker down inside anyway.

That looks like a pretty good setup. Cute little kitty:).
