But in an ideal world, even if you have that wouldn't it be great to ALSO have a run TOO? So that when it's not safe for the birds to be just wandering loose (e.g. having a predator or fence problem that day) they can still be more or less out in the fresh air. Also lets you lock them into a rally safe coop at night without worrying about having to choose between 'up at daybreak every single day' and 'chickens sitting pointlessly in coop for hours after sunup, waiting to be let out'
Sometimes (especially in 'if I win the lottery' type scenarios) it is possible for chickens to have cake and eat it too
