There is a door on the inside, so they could be two seperate runs on the outside as well, with a little more work

For the time being I am not going to seperate them ( or atleast until I get the silkies I want )

It is going to have fencing/ hardware cloth as well. They will also be able to free range while I am home.

The bare spots have all been planted with every kind of seed I could find that would not hurt them. I am hoping it has a couple weeks to start growing in to give them some things to nibble on. The little tree to the front of it is an apple tree, there is 3 total of them. PLus a few peach and plum trees for treats as well.

I want to plant the right side between the fence with something they can eat as well. I was thinking blackberries or something along that line.

I just hope the dog learns they are not squeeky toys

The seeds are starting to grow

The chicken wire has been put up and the hardware cloth should make it up by this weekend.

Only a few more nest boxes to build and another roost or two and it should be ready for chickens
