I was thinking of hanging shower curtains around the run to block the wind but let sun in.

Are you thinking this for winter? Granted your winter may not be as crispy, but I've found the cheaper type shower liners (which may not be what you're thinking) and the clear vinyl that people use for table cloths get brittle and crack once it freezes.

We equip the end of our coop with a roll of the thickest, regular, clear plastic. It stood up very well last winter. It will be what we use this winter.

Our coop is a single car garage that has been converted to a coop for the present time. We built a wall with a walk in door to fit in the end where the garage door goes. The plastic is approx 9x9. We use wood lath to secure the plastic.

Thanks for the tip. I will opt for something thicker.

We need to have an Old Folks Home reunion, where everyone can meet, and contribute some of this great food we keep seeing.
