Nice shack! Have you wintered over goats yet? If so what's your set-up for them during the winter? I'm thinking as long as the space is draft free and bedding is available they would be fine with no heat like the chickens and rabbits. How about some inside shots...

Thank you. Seems reasonable. My Shirley is a little smarty pants and has found a way to dump a hanging chicken feeder. Soon she'll be in a barn and if her CL test is negative she'll have a friend join in the fun.
