@gtaus, your chickens have a lovely run! Great job and you have lucky chickens!
Thank you. This year I added another two 12x12 foot sections to the run, so they have 3X as much chicken run as last year. I think they enjoy the extra space. I still have the third section blocked off with a temporary fence to give the grass some time to regrow and letting the pole beans I planted some time to find their way over to the chicken run fence.
Like many people this year, we have had record high temps. My grass is usually a dark green this time of year, but right now I have large sections of pale brown grass that is barely surviving. We have not had any rain for weeks, and the garden needs to be watered every other day. As you saw in the pictures I posted, I am watering that third section of chicken run to get the grass to grow back. I still think I can make that last section of the chicken run into a "Green Zone", but Mother Nature is not helping at the moment.
Would love to post some new pics if everything greens up. Hoping the pole beans start using the chicken run fence as a trellis and fill out the backside. That would look nice.
