Hey aart, the coop held up great over the winter. It was one of the coldest and snowiest on record, so it was pretty brutal. The girls spent most of their time in the greenhouse, they really seemed to appreciate the extra warmth. However, we did experience some pretty bad feather picking late in the season. I think they just got so bored. Next winter I'm going to wrap all three sides of the run with plastic instead of just the two. Hopefully that will encourage them to utilize that space. I've only got 6 birds in there so it's not like they were super crowded, but.....who knows? I just hope I can get a handle on the picking by then.
