Got the run door painted and hot wire put around the perimeter 😊. Now all that’s left is to do the staining on the rest of the run ☺️. I’m so ready to put this place to use 😆

Yes we will be installing a gutter system but we really dont get heavy rains very often. We attached the run using some 2x4 s that we connected to the coop creating little walls and then covering them with hardware cloth like the rest of the walls. It wasnt to hard.

I actually ordered the plans on etsy but ended up doubling the size of it. I haven't taken any pics of the inside yet. I did put some linoleum down for easier cleaning. I also have the roost bars all on the extension part so they don't block the nest boxes. We also made a slide out poop board that goes under the roost bars too. I did my own changes to make this as user friendly as possible
