New Plan - Need Help

[enggass]

Ok. I am buying a Coop:

and building the run... I need help/advice on how to tie the coop in with the run. ie. Connect the two.
See plan here:

Are you planning on using the space under the coop as part of the run?

Attach it to one of the shorter sides with the nest boxes on the far end is how I would do it. Don't know what your space limitations are, or if there are any at all.

Maybe. The part I need to figure out is dealing with the roof of the coop where it joins the run.

The easy way would be to just push the coop right up to your run wire, staple to the wall of the coop and cut an opening for the pop door. You might have a little distortion.

If the distortion of the wire was something you couldn't live with I'd add another 2x4 to your run just under the eaves of the coop, and make the gap between the framing and the sides of the coop as tight as possible.

Honestly runs attached to smaller coops are kind of a pain in the butt for me.
