Huh...nevermind, I guess my 4 x 8 run isn't too bad - I was looking through the gallery of other peoples Medium coops and the ones with attached runs are WAY smaller then what we built.

YAY!

I'm guessing as long as they have room to run safely during the day and outside time before bed we should be good

Not to mention this thing (the run) is going to be super safe and sturdy. Takes a load off my mind (I'm a worry wart LOL).

Here's a few pics from today's build:

Wow, you weren't joking when you said you were building a tank of a run! Nobody will be able to say you half-assed it, that's for sure!

Frodo! That's a cool name

and very fashionable hat lol

Very nice coop! I like the little stairs leading up to it. I'm gonna have to do at least one step with mine I think....I'm too darn short

Aww thank you Gryphon

I'll tell my hubby, it's his brain child...he said it's turning out just like he thought it was - he's great at building things when he does. Me on the other hand, I'm just a good foreman LOL

I have a realtive that lives in exira Iowa, in the county of audobon. Does anyone on here know the local chicken ordinances?

 

[iawoodchip]

I live maybe150 or more miles east of Exira, I doubt there would be too much problem having chickens there. It's a small Iowa town about half way between Des Moines & Omaha, with about 850 population. Probably not much more than a mile or two wide in any direction. Small Iowa towns are generally farm communities, farm friendly, & farm orientated. You might GOOGLE Exira, IA & discuss it with the cities fathers.
