Finally fished my new run

[Squeak61]

We finally finished our run! This thing took us a few weeks to complete It's 16 feet by 24 feet, which is perfect for our new batch of chicks. Each panel is 4 feet wide, 5 feet tall. We used about 3 rolls of 50 foot chicken wire to complete it. It was a tad over budget, but it came out great (not the prettiest, but totally perfect purpose wise)

Thank you so much! Yeah, putting chicken wire over the whole roof was a hassle. But it all worked out! I'm super excited to add new birds

Yes I agree it's a hassle but I tell you it sure helps keep the varmints out. if you get rain, you might want to consider topping part of the run. just put a big lightweight tarp over the top of the run. I did that worked really good and kept the run dry .so you have room for 38 more chickens total.
hot diggity! I see more chickens your future!

Thanks for the tip! I'm hoping the snow doesn't weigh down on it. And definitely, new chickens are a must

You do know the grass is not going to survive, right?
