The Coop Has Been Winterized!

 
It's finally done and winterized!
 
JoAnne and I spent a couple hours this afternoon taking care of the chicken\rabbit coop.  I bought a brandy-new roll of 6-mil plastic that we used on the sides and front.  I also filled 5 paper leaf bags  and we're using them as added insulation on the outside of the pen.  They're placed at the roost end of the coop and will definitely help with the wind.  Over the course of the winter I will slowly empty the bags as bedding on the floor of the pen.  This also gives the birds something new to scratch and scrounge through and adds additional matter for compost.
