I set up a second enclosed area for the chickens with portable fence. They were doing so much damage around the yard they have to be contained.

Looking into the new run through the people door. The egg box is just inside the door hanging on the wall. The step stool helps them get in the eggbox or in the coop (white box along the far wall). This photo shows the window on the coop made for increased ventilation. The brown wall behind the coop is just fencing with weedblock cloth being used for shade, without cutting off airflow. Works well!
The new run area: to your left is the uncovered portion of run, to the right is the covered section that connects with a pop door. People door to the far right where the egg box and the locking coop are. Tarp for rain protection for now. I do want a better roof, though. The tarp collects rain like a bathtub!
I was using paper for nesting material, then started adding fresh picked citrus leaves. The leaves give a wonderful scent and I no longer add paper: they just get new fresh leaves every couple of weeks. They like it and I think the bottom mesh is nice and cool, too. The back wall just is open to fencing and it was more sunny than expected so I hung a flour bag dish towel. They can still see out, but feel secure enough to lay!
