My sad, simple coop...but I'm proud

Looks great!

If it's any consolation, I took mine on with very, very, very little carpenty skills (hadn't built anything since I was a kid, and then it wasn't good) and the chooks haven't complained yet, though I'm revamping it as needed (for example a new roost when there was interchickenal friction) Here's a few pics:

To stretch the wire more tightly, it helps to have another person handy, but failing that you can just start by pinning down one corner, and then move to an adjacent corner. When you get the second corner down, you can pin that whole side down. Then it's just a matter of repeating the process on another adjoining corner and working around the perimeter like that.

I'd also suggest putting something across some of the top to provide shade (unless at least part of the run is in shade during all parts of the day).

Awesome job! I've built a few tractors out of recycled wood, and while they might not look like much (and not a 90 degree angle on any of them!), the chickens like them! Enjoy your birds!
