I just looked, 3"-5" more overnight. Looks like we might hit a foot.

How’re you doing, @fuzzi? Is the additional snow happening?

It not obliged to coop them up. In a run, behind a fence is good enough.

You are right that technically they don't need to be cooped up. But everyone needs to shield their chickens from wild birds and their dung falling from the sky. Meaning your run would need to have a roof. And I have trees in my run, so that is not possible. I do however have a combined coop space about the size of a regular backyard from a Dutch city, so it's only enrichment that I need to implement more.
