To all your awesome advise
 
Am I ever glad I read this post!!! I am about to redo my chicken run... We are soon having a block wall put in around the backyard, that means I will have a TON of fence posts and wood fence from our old fence. I am trying now to "design" something. I was not looking forward to digging holes for fence posts.... But, I can probably make panels and fit them together in such a way that they won't need fence posts set in the ground! I am rethinking my design now.
 
Do I really have to place the post in the ground?
Or once all 4 sides connected together and nailed to coop it should just stay..

They don't have to be in the ground at all.

Just build it with 2 X 4's like a wall for a house, then stand it up.

If you feel a need to anchor it, drill some holes in the bottom and drive in rebar stakes

Mine's not anchored at all

2 runs, each 12 X 18:
