Wow, you have lots of space for expanding and building something!
Yes and I am slowly expanding.
Also a lot of space for predators.
Mine free range daily. I worry. We had a coin prowling the barn yesterday, he managed to get into the feed. I know he's around so I'm gonna set live trap for him.
 
How did coon get in to feed?
What is it you want to improve?
Bigger coop, secure run?
Do you have building skills?

Coon got into feed cause I was careless and didn't close can securely.
I would feel better if chickens were more secure during the day-especially from raptor. There is no way to install netting etc.....
There is also another coop that I am contemplating cleaning out and using.
I also need a water supply at the barn.
