This looks great! We have added walls to sides of run to block snow drifts so I don’t see why you can’t add walls on one side. Only concern would be ventilation, but with two sides open should be fine! Have fun!
Check the nesting box? Their combs and waffles get very red and they do a chicken dance when you pet them. 16 weeks is young, she may just be practicing!
Hi there! both runs have full access the smaller one has a top that opens completely and latches close, and the taller one has a door. Both are easy to clean and access. We can add a cover to the top easily. We currently use landscape cloth for shade, but can easily add a sheet of plastic to...
Sorry here are the photos of the run. We have a 1/4 run that opens from the top, then a 1/2 run that has a small door to the side. So far its been a breeze to clean. I have sand in the base and there is hard ware cloth on the bottom.
We live in Colorado on top of a hill and we have a breeze...
We have cage covered vent holes on each side at top. Can add more if needed. There is a small window on one side that can be opened. And doggy door converted to let them out , we added a hook so it doesn’t fall down, but door latches close when completely closed - I currently lock them in at...

The girls love it! I only kept them in coop one night and they didn’t need any coaxing to go back in. They peak out and explore the run but really come out when I am around- they really feel safe around me and I guess I am still momma hen!
Thank you for this fantastic post! It has inspired us to use our resin shed that was just sitting unused. We are converting it into a coop based on this post. My only concern is for ventilation. And no room for poop boards. We are new at this so we just wanted to try this out first. May build...
