Chicken Run

[The Red Rooster]

The run is almost done. Just needs a door and chicken wire on top. Any opinions and suggestions would be welcome.

I have a chicken tractor with wheels and the run is terribly inaccessible. I will be replacing the top of the run with chicken wire panels with hinges so that I can open the sections of the top to easily access the chickens if needed. After having to climb through the door at the end of the run, I will not be doing that again. I highly recommend making the run accessible from the top more so than the end.

I can't tell how high your run is though, and so my suggestion may not be applicable.

I agree with nurse_turtle. The more accessible you make your run, the happier you'll be come cleaning time. Also, if you somehow end up with a hurt or sick chicken, it's nice to be able to get to them without having to struggle with your coop (the bird will probably give enough of a struggle as it is lol).
