The run for my girls wasn't exactly ideal size. We let them free range when we are home, but the 8 hours we are gone they basically get....a dirt pit. They have eaten all the grass so I said enough is enough and added on to create three separate pens so I can allow grass to grow in one and rotate them. The girls are really enjoying it! Here are some pictures.
They went from this
To this!
That is the meat bird coop/storage shed. They have access to that run when there aren't meat birds in it.
