I understand that more is better, but putting down / removing material across entire run is not something I had pictured needing to do. Roofing the entire thing is also something I had not planned on. $, time and effort on this little "weekend, project" is getting a bit silly.No, I think you cannot have to large of a run. The larger the run, the happier the chickens! You need space to put in obstacles and places for the lesser ones in the pecking order to get away from any aggressors. You are doing the right thing giving them the space you are! And you will have it partially covered. But, again, I go with straw. Works much better in the run than pine shavings. Some people will add wood chips in too and I'm thinking about doing that this year.
