New run-comments?

[jeff spahn]

I started out on Saturday cleaning out my run, ended up building a new one.
Here's where I started.

Here's what I ended up with. Thoughts? Enhancements?

Painted it with camo paint (closest match to wood color) so the hardware would be covered from elements.

I think the run looks good. I'd look for some white to paint it with, so it matches the house and coop.

Very nice

Love the little coop! Too cute!

It looks very nice!

Do you have a roost in the run for them to fly up onto? I was wondering why the hoop top?

I thought the hoop top gave it a nice touch. Plus I can walk around not being stooped over.
have to be sure to duck when leaving though.

I thought about it. Just haven't done that yet. Painting the hardware was easier and I wanted to get done with the project in one day.

I most likely will have a roost for them this weekend.

Nice set up! Your coop looks very well lit, do you have any inside pics of your coop? What are the dimensions of your run?

I'll post some inside pictures at lunchtime. The run is 8' long by 50"wide by 6' (inside hoops) high.

Here's the roost I built them last night. For hanging out while in the great outdoors. They have two roosts inside the coop. I'll post those in a bit
