Backyard Poultry
If you thought that we were finished with the tarps last time, guess again! That system worked in fall, in cold weather, in wind, but not in snow. Foot-deep snowstorms. Obviously, the chickens needed somewhere to go on winter days; the alternative was being shut in their 4x8 house with a literally titanic rooster. From the picture above, they already look like they have cabin fever! I had a friend in Georgia who had a similarly-sized house for her chickens—even had screen on several sides—and no covered run space, which was fine for her since she had little or no snow. Ohio winters are a different story!

Gorgeous red comb and black/white coloring on that rooster!
Yes, he was looking very handsome by now! :)
I remember how that rooster used to charge at us every time we opened the door:).
Oh my, I had forgotten about that!
