Yesterday was another beautiful Fall day. The temperature warmed up to mid-fifties. Perfect weather to be outside working in the yard.
Disregard Tirxie-dog watering the freshly mowed and leaf free lawn, rather focus on the chicken coop behind her. As you can see it's 99% winterized. The first project of the day was to get the front plastic secured and in place It might not look too pretty but it helps protect the critters from the cold winds and makes quite a difference with the inside temperature, which is why I've left the door uncovered for now.
I also filled five leaf bags with mostly Maple leaves and stacked them on the left end, seem in the picture above. The left end of the coop is where the chickens roost is and where they sleep. The bags act as further insulation against the wind. I will also use the contents throughout the winter as bedding for the coop and snacks for the rabbits, as they enjoy nibbling on the leaves.
