Large run ideas

[mikeharold]

So we just bought 4.5 acres and moved our 5 chickens that are set up in a temp run with their old coop and we have 7 other chicken that came with the place that have a very "ghetto" setup that is pretty pathetic. The next outdoor project is going to be making a decent run with a good coop for all the chickens involved. The space, which I haven't yet measured as I haven't gotten to this project yet, is going to be about 10-12'xabout 20'. Looking for ideas on designs construction wise and materials that are on the more affordable side. Lets see some ideas! Thanks in advance.

Hey, why so small? You have a lot of space?

IMHO, which you did ask for lol, is go with welded wire...which you can move around...you don't really have to build anything..ghetto or not. They can get fresh grass and bugs as needed. And it's very unobtrusive, when you gaze at the chickens from the porch or from a window, you hardly notice it. (I didn't want to obsucre the view of my gardens...


ETA: With 2 strands of polywire electric, for predator proofing. Bird net on top if hawks.
