The run for my girls wasn't exactly ideal size. We let them free range when we are home, but the 8 hours we are gone they basically get....a dirt pit. They have eaten all the grass so I said enough is enough and added on to create three separate pens so I can allow grass to grow in one and rotate them. The girls are really enjoying it! Here are some pictures.
That is the meat bird coop/storage shed. They have access to that run when there aren't meat birds in it.
