Here's a picture of our outdoor run, it measures about 100'x45'.  The ducks have a stall in our barn as their coop......the door opens right into the run.  It is completely netted on top and I used 2x3 welded wire attached to the fence.

Check this one...the chicken wire holds up pretty well with LOTS of snow!It has bowed some but for now it works until we put fencing on top.

Thanks on the size... it helps me think smile
Do you lock them in the coop at night?
I also see you used the welded dog wire... have you been happy with that?

halecards; I read the first page and noticed you wanted to know the gender of your Welsh Harlequins. smile
I have a pair and my female, and I think this is normally true, has a dark bill and then my male has the white/lighter bill.

2 welsh harlequins, 2 indian runners, 1 black swedish, 1 crested pekin, guinea pig, rat, and a pit/beagle mix. <3
