4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[fluffyknickers]

I have a cube and standard run and the run is covered sides and top with clear tarpaulin to protec my three girlies.

 

I was wondering when/if you removed the tarpaulin for the summer?

 

I have the green omlet shade thing.

 

Thanks

Short answer, never . Honestly, I hardly took the corrugated plastic off last year the weather was so rubbish. I'd take it off one day, then the next day it rained . So I left it on but put the sunshade over the top if the sun broke through. I think I doubled up the plastic sheets so just the very top of the run was covered.

I also leave mine on - on sunny days recently the dew has been really heavy and would soak the run.

If the forecast is for a sunny day, I fold it back during the day so as not to fry the girls, but put it back over at night once they are in bed.

I do have a shaded area as well - the green shade is under the tarp near the food and drink.

I've taken mine off already, their run is south facng and gets the sun so with the tarp on was like a greenhouse. And I don't think the girls like being too warm.

We check the weather forecast and put in back on if heavyrain is forecast, but don't worry for drizzle.

Hmmmm right! Undecided now. Although you are only up the road from me so get more or less same weather so perhaps I will be ok.

 

Food for thought - thanks

Just to confuse you even more we have just popped it back on as the weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow doesn't look great.
