Thanks. I have a little gate I made back when I had the two haves of the run separated. I can probably repurpose it and install it on the back of the run.Yes, I do the same when I let them out, lots of quick ways back in or out again, keeping in mind they always want to take the most direct line to where they want to escape when out ranging, which is back to the coop and coop run usually. Hmm, what I don't have is a hatch right under the coop, that run is a dead end. Not sure about that.
Yes, I walk around the arranged complex to be sure I've got them all closed up after ranging.
