Run updates - enrichment, new roof and my “chicken TV seat“ (yes, that‘s a thing)

Love the "bus stop" and the platform and wagon! The bell board is adorable, and I'm so glad they're attached with carabiners rather than string or something that could fray and get eaten.

Thank you I try to make everything as safe as possible

Hello everyone, here is another update. This time I tackled my daughter‘s old swingset. Three years ago when I built the run I turned it into a little shelter. The girls love it but I had a few issues with it.
Because of the low ceiling I could not get down there very well and I kept worrying that ohne day a sick or hurt chicken could hide there.
In addition, I wanted to use more of the vertical space and I wanted the place to be useable during flockdown, so it needed a proper door and a connection to the other roofed area. This is the before…

Here is the AfterThe girls seem to enjoy the perches and different kinds of ladders. The little „snack boxes“ add to the attraction. I still have to add a few details but overall I‘m quite happy with it

Oh, and because this area tends to get muddy in rainy weather I added a little path. Let‘s see how long the girls keep the woodchips in there

Very nice modifications! I'm sure the girls are quite happy

Super cute little play area, chickens enjoy having levels to explore, so it looks like a great space for them.
