Results so far with Deep Litter

Your run seems to be close to what I am trying to build right now. I am in Ohio and can receive large snowfalls. What did you top your run with? We are currently staking out a 7' tall fence line for ours and are not sure as to the best type of cover. We do not need a shaded area. I put a post under the coop and run construction that has photos of our posts at this time. Your input would be great!

I used deer netting ...pretty easy to work with . I ordered an 8 foot by 150 foot roll , so far seems to be working well
 
As you have the collection mower, why not add fresh cut mulched grass clippings. The chickens won’t produce enough nitrogen in their manure to keep up with the leaves.
.


My "yard " is 8 acres .... when it's time to mow The collector is off and I'm running as fast as I can ! I could do grass clippings but for now the leaves are doing ok
 
Do you know if a raccoon, fox or coyote can chew thru deer netting?

Well yes that is why I used it as a cover ( over the top of the run ) to keep hawks and Owls out ... the sides of my run are fenced in welded wire covered with chicken wire
