Would something like this work as a small extra run? Could It be tweaked and covered with this type of material that would allow sunlight but block rain and snow? Can’t figure out where we could attach it.

This is in your post but the comment's sound like you've ruled it out? What is your property/footprint? Fenced yard or acreage or ? Asking because if I had that coop I'd consider it to be for lock up only and everyone goes out during the day, and in that scenario the missing adequate run space isn't such an issue. Of course if you can't free-range then where everyone is going in this thread makes sense.... I have a big chain link run, about 1500sq ft. but because they free range I don't really need it, it's just a nice to have.....We haven’t decided if we should free range or not.
That's the problem with movable coops/runs, they have to remain smaller and light,The dream anyway.
Yes ... T-Post = not movable.Oh I see how it is. But we wouldn’t be able to move it about the yard. If I built that, I’d feel like the coop has to stay put.
We may end up there eventually, but I really wanted to see how it would be moving them about. They’ll get such a variety of weeds and bugs that way. And their poo will fertilize my grass. That was. The dream anyway. We’ll see if we tire of it, lol.
If we had something I could disconnect and move easily they could still travel.
My grass in the back yard has never looked better. They have full run of the yard, but I am fortunate enough to have a six-foot fence. Also, I had a jungle of weeds I let get away from me and those girls had it gone by late last Fall.Oh I see how it is. But we wouldn’t be able to move it about the yard. If I built that, I’d feel like the coop has to stay put.

That looks fabulous!This is my run. Constructed of hollow metal posts and pvc pipe. A tarp will be add over the winter to give them snow free run. And wind protection.
Thanks! It was on the fly design. Lol I'm fortunate as my DH works in landscape and had the posts left over from a job he did. The PVC was because I didn't want to crawl around in my run cleaning and feeding. We're hoping to eventually move to our bigger farm property, so this was temporary.....lol but we all know how temporary goes!That looks fabulous!
