Here is my run/coops. The one thing I wish I had done is to do the run floor in concrete before letting the birds in. We have lots of racoons who like to dig, but I did not think the chickens would dig from the inside of the run! I might be going through this summer to redo this, but it would have been way easier at the beginning.Oh! That’s a great idea! To force them into the big coop nesting boxes to start laying.
There are sun shades you can purchase on Amazon (Amazon, stealing all my $$ for chickens ), but I zip ties a sheet up on one end in the summer to give them shade. Also, the nest boxes are amazing. They're easy to keep clean and out of the way of everything so the eggs stay clean, too.
