I’ve purchased two 10x13 chicken runs from Amazon that I’m going to reinforce with hardware cloth. They are currently covered with poultry wire. We have too many predators to risk free-ranging and want to give our girls lots of room to roam. We’re new to this and have 6 chicks. We plan to let them live out their lives regardless of egg production, so we want to have plenty of room to add an additional coop. The runs each came with a cover that covers half of the run. I would like to enclose 1/4 of the total run space. I was thinking about covering it with exterior plywood and I would like to add a metal or polycarbonate roof. Has anyone done anything like this? If so….how did you support the extra materials? Looking for ideas.
