I saw an instagram post of a woman in New England who used tents to harbor her chickens indoors when the temps/wind chill dropped into the low/negative numbers. We thought this was brilliant. We have ducks, typically they can stand lower temps than chickens, but even then we’ve had to bring them in on occasion and were excited to have a way to fully contain their feathers and bedding. We also used it this spring as a supplement to our brooder set up. We put in an extra large tarp to line the floor and part way up the walls, and put a collapsible kiddie pool inside. We left the doors zipped to knee height to allow enough airflow (fully closed not enough air circulated for proper ventilation). It took us awhile to find the right shape/size tent to fit the larger kiddie foldable pool. This was perfect, the pool fit inside with a bit of space on either side of the doors to just “catch” any flying feathers or bedding, and room on the long ends to store more bedding, food and supplies right inside the tent. It has been the perfect set up, easy to clean, maintain and take down. Completely eliminated fly away feathers and bedding. The pop up and down functionality of the tent is easy and feels durable for our use. Highly rate it for this “quacky” set up!
