Run Tarps

Backyard Poultry

Set Up for a Storm (Hurricane?)

Here is a demo of the tarp in full use. This is one of the lighter runs (3x8) that we used beside the henhouse, with a second 3x6 run, whenever the chickens weren’t out on grass. And yes, you are correct if you thought those were skids on top. This was set up for a predicted high-wind thunderstorm when we thought the runs might blow away. I think that was a possibility, with those tarps acting like kites. Ever thought to shut the chickens in the house during a storm?!? Well, live and learn. The chicken house was a bit small for a still-growing rooster and eight spoiled hens, I guess.
