They spend the winter in it. They will be out once tree cover comes back in. The last 3 winters Ive lost all my bantams to falcons or hawks. Without fail, no matter how good of a Standard roo I have out with the main flock. The bantys just get targeted. So, solid coop/run for winter and seperate...

I will be adding a window when the weather clears. And doing /something/ withthe run floor.

Thats a shitty day. Could be worse. I got called in for an emergency repair, just to find out they got it going right after I clocked in. Union rules I had to stay 4hrs.
