So now he said he was gonna build a run and its been a month and he hasnt done anything and my chickens hate me cuz they have to stay inside.

I was thinking if i planned it all out for him he might help me build it faster

I have 6 large fowl hens, So how much outside space do they need? I also have a trio of silkies 2 young silkies, 6 silkie mixed juveniles FOR SALE and a big large fowl rooster.

Mainly the 6 hens will be useing the run so how big should it be? How tall should the fencing be? And any other info on building a run would be very much appreciated

At LEAST 10 sq ft per bird...more is better. If you want to do something quickly, and can afford it, you might look for chain link dog runs/kennels on Craig's list. You can put some corragated (sp) roofing panels over that or a large tarp, at least temporarily, to keep things dry.
