I WISH family taught me any of this shit. It seems like most people around here have no advise about this weather besides put them in a barn. Which to me is also unacceptable. My coop is ghetto as fuck, but I only have 10 birds becuase I'm prototyping a coop build that a child can move. They're coop is open to the south, but next year I'll be on the third iteration of this coop and I know I will keep it light enough but also get the draftyness, less for the wind and more for the driving snow.
