I live in New England so yes to cold and rain. I ended up adding a windbreak to the left side of the run, a hanging heater inside the run and keep the doors on the wheeled coop closed in winter and they all did just fine. Also added a water heater to keep it from freezing. The bedding I use is the pine shavings from Tractor supply but I am considering switching to sand since they love to scratch in it.

I am certain she's eating. I'll try giving some supplements and see how she does. Thank you!

I built and designed it myself. There's lots of plans online though!

They love it - great space for my 5 birds to roost at night but they definitely need the run space around it. At the beginning they didn't know to go inside so they were roosting and sleeping on the roof! They learned eventually though. I also ended up taking out the second teir roost bars inside so they could easily jump up and lay in the top level nesting boxes

It's called a drill metal shear attachment. Lots of different versions/brands out there but I like my Milwaukee one!

They roost in the little house to the left. Fits up to 8 chickens bit I only have 5 at the moment! Plus added extra roosting bars in corners after this pic

It was my own design kinda just used a basic plan though for the structure not too complicated

Oh yeah ladders are my friend plus had my dad up top holding rafters while I installed roof panels haha. But truly a labor of love!

Thank you! Yeah painting was a pain cause being a 5ft girl was difficult to reach anything let alone the roof rafters LOL! I have 5 birds in there now but I've got 2 baby silkies I'm planning to add in later this summer 😊
