Yes, we had the wind! Luckily, I only had to repair the lattice cover over their little compost/scratch area between the coop and the fence. I'm glad I used plastic panels instead of a roll of plastic to wind-proof the run this time! Took a couple snaps of the coop yesterday. You can see the plastic wind block and the straw to keep their feet off the cold sand. The cement block is my step to reach into the coop for getting to the food and water, half of that side is a big door with a small pop door cut into it for the chooks. The block is handy to put treats on and as a perch. This little run is where they spend most of their time, (even when the run door is wide open) when there is snow on the ground or too much rain or wind. Today there is not much wind, no rain, and fairly mild, so they are out and about in their free-range yard (there area that our 1/3 acre fenced in pond is).
