Hey need to build a run tomorrow because we are going on vacation. The coop we have has a front door that we can take out that is
16 Inches wide and 20 1/2 inches tall. Here is a picture of the opening that we would attach the run to. (BTW That door will be taken out if we find a design to build on)




As you can see our chickens have very little room to move down and up the ramp and a very little run. So if any one has any ideas on how to build on to this or even as small as how big we should make the run will really help. Also, I would like to know if I should use clothing wire, chicken wire, 2x4's, .... etc. Thanks!
 
That looks exactly like the little coop we bought at Tractor supply. We then bought a large pre made dog run and put the little coop to the back side. It comes with a nice tarp roof so we added mor panels
 
iPad sent my post before I was finished telling about how we built a dog run around the store bought coop from Tractor Supply. Then We bought 4 rolls of plastic coated rabbit wire and lined the dog run to keep out predators. We even went up and over the under side of the tarp roof. We have gone on a few short trips and felt very confident that our hens are safe while we are gone.
