Here’s my run, it’s 750 sq feet.

I'm very tired, that center part is the gate, right?
Hoping to build something similar, put in an order for materials but the store stock online was wrong and they canceled my order. The 2 days of this week so far have been two months worth of horrible.

Not sure which middle part your talking about... the arrow in black is the door, the blue is extra support for bird netting over the top. If that makes sense...? Sorry that your week has been rough!

Here is my coop in midwest. I scoop if snow is bad . Otherwise I just give them a path lined with pine chips till it melts. We only got rain at last storm here so it's a mucky mess now. I love all the trees you buried for perching . I have 3 grazing boxes they love. I would miss a cover over run but I have shelter under coop when needed. Good planning aged on the clean up.

I thought this was a thread about cecal poops.


Wrong kind of "runs"...

Did you build the coop yourself. I love the colors, and look. It's really appealing to the eye! it's perfect! Like the reds on it

The run is really only used when things like this happen and the chickens choose not to tunnel out:View attachment 2569062
Otherwise, it is just an extension of the coop. It's 12'x28' with a solid roof and a 4'x8' extension off the back that houses the dust bathing area. When physically possible, they spend their day inside their pen. It is fenced in with poultry netting powered with a 10,000 volt/1.2 Joule output charger. The total area is about 1/3 acre.

But the coop also has a build-in brooder/maternity ward and 4'x8' outdoor area.

And I installed branches along the back of the run so the flock can preen and hang out there while they wait for me to let them out.View attachment 2569061

That is so fancy

I am getting closer to being finished with my rebuild. Hopfully this weekend i will have the roofing panels and "connection" to the coop. I grossly miscalculated the amount of 2x4's and roof panels needed...well actually i calculated it correctly and then proceeded to build it larger than the plans accounted for
