Looks Good, You might want to enlarge your run in the near future----keep your eyes open for a used 10x10x6ft tall chain linked dog kennel---they make it so easy, quick to set-up. Example--I just recently set-up another run----a 6000sqft chicken run/yard with these chain linked dog kennel panels and only took 2 hours by my 61 yr old self, Plus these are alot safer. Your "chicken wire" will keep the chickens in but alot of predators will tear right through it to get a chicken dinner(maybe your whole back yard in fenced in with the privancy fence?). Keep in mind that a Hawk can dive right in the open top and get himself a chicken dinner. Cheap netting from Tractor Supply is all that's needed for the top for hawks and to keep the chickens in. Good Luck

I'm going to let them free range as soon as garden vegetables have been picked and my Goldendoodle promises not to eat them.
