i somehow acquired 2 runaways and i have questions. please help

beauties! all of them.
Thank you. The little cockerel was so sweet that I let them out and I started to pet him so he jumped in my lap and just layed down. I cried like a baby that night when I got home because the 2 of them were the sweetest little chicks.

This is Whiner. He was so adorable and sweet but then he made the worst mistake ever so he had to go.

i never saw the whole thing and was trying to piece it together in my head. i get it now! ado you have timber reinforcing the big run?
Until recent the netted run had two separate compartments.
I build the first run with a gazebo or party tent frame for 6 Dutch bantams. The second followed several years later when I had few more chickens and it got a bit crowded in the 9m2 with broodies and chicks. This second run was made with wood to fit in the space. It had an opening i could close, and I used that option whenever I had chicks.

The hwc in the ground rusted last year and i had to repair some hwc at ground level and took away the hwc rests between the 2 runs.

The netting I used is strong netting for birds of prey and reinforced cat netting (for balconies) .

I have an inconvenient opening (net door with bamboo sticks) in the party tent, which i opened only once every week /two weeks. On the other side is a normal run door.

The runs are not very safe (not at night) therefore i installed auto pop doors between the coops and the run.

As you can read, this chickens setup is a forever ongoing project ;)
i put two of the panels from the old little run to cover the space between the two roofs, but it makes it really difficult to open the run door. i have to push the panels up to open the door enough to get in. it's not my favourite.
if you post a few photos, handling it to open /close , maybe I or other members could give a tip how to make a change to make it easier to open /close?
