Cold, rainy, and leaky coop

After two days of 40 degrees and slanting constant cold rain......

I was gathering eggs this morning, freshening food and water, and trying to clean the coop....and the sand on the inside is wet, there are a couple of leaky places in the upstairs....and it was just a pain to do all that in the wet and cold.  I wondered if Bambi had felt the same way when she took care of the gals last week??  Anyway, I got this crazy idea that we should put the coop in the garage for the winter--and spring rain season!!  It made me laugh, but then the more I thought about it, the better the idea seemed....the hens would be more protected from wind, wet, and cold....I would be protected from all of that when doing the farm chores....and if we had a bitterly cold period and wanted to run the heater, it'd be easier to do in the garage.  And when we let them out, we just open the coop and garage door.  I feel like this would make us ALL more comfortable!!  But am I crazy???  Please tell me, I can take it.  

P.S.  

I just read a blog from a woman in Seattle and she moved her hens in the garage because SHE wasn't pleased about doing farm chores in the rain either!!  HAHAHA!!!

Bambi said:  I love it!  Do I thinks it’s crazy and unconventional ?  Yep, I sure do, but aren’t we crazy and unconventional?!  We have the most spoiled and loved fowl in the universe!  I love that you’re concerned about their comfort, and I am definitely concerned about your comfort, so I say do it!!!!
