Keep it dry
Repair leaks, improve drainage and use clean bedding. Moisture is a bigger winter concern than cool air when ventilation is poor.
Ventilate above the flock
Provide high airflow openings that do not create a direct draft across roosting birds. Inspect for condensation and adjust as needed.
Secure the run
Check latches, mesh, roof edges and ground-level gaps. A covered run and reliable door routine can reduce predator access.
Prepare daily care
Plan water protection, feed storage and easy access for morning and evening checks. Browse coops with runs for a practical starting point.
