Impressive! And I love the amount of actually usable space you've made for your flock. So many folks try to shoehorn way too many bodies into a literal box.

This is a wonderful set up, using a shed with an attached run is easy to do! Nice run too. Eggs-cellent job!

The photos and descriptions are great. I would love to see a few paragraphs written up summarizing the build to put a nice bow on it.

EDIT:
@Eagleeyeice went through and added a bunch of detail to this. Be sure to see what was said at each stage with the photos.

I agree, and if I did it over I'd do it differently. SO I'm gonna try to add info to the pages when I have time and figure out how.

Very cool! The only thing that could improve this article is build plans.

Thanks, but the only plans I had were in my head.
I had a general idea what I wanted to do and just started to build and each day it got closer to my coop and run.
Looks great. The only thing that worries me is the rats that could get in through the chicken wire.



Rats/mice and other predators can climb. Just be aware that chicken wire is not predator proof.

I deleted my first response because I couldn't edit it. I meant to say that the chicken wire starts 3 feet from the ground. the bottom 3 feet is hardware cloth
