My bantam goes out in her completely exposed run in the middle of some of the worst Michigan winter days. I would say it is most important to have many shade options available for your hens. Most shrubs and conifer trees make a pretty, but still functional, sun break. The structure of your run sounds perfect as it will allow for good drainage. Also, I would recommend planting some hardy grasses you dig up from some unmowed part of your land (if this exists). I hope this helps!!!
