Would you like to help me design my run? Pictures included...also to do a roof or no?

I thought about doing a slope, we get more rain than anything. If I sloped it I was afraid I would create a indent in the ground (from the water run off) that would possibly get too much water in their run that is under their coop, so I decided to do it flat. The ground is sloped so the water could pool and run. We do get snow, but this is under some big pine trees where, even when it rains, it takes hours for any water to show up under them. So I think its ok to be flat, but we shall see. I hope I am not wrong haha

Snow clumps falling from the tree might be a bit of a nuisance though. (Now I'm just being a fatalist).

That is true! I am going to have to stay on top of it for sure!

It really only snows here about 2x a year..so we should be ok! I hope!

Mostly done! Still need to add roosts! I may add chicken wire against the wire up top since the gaps are pretty big. Basically just wanted a day run and we lock them in their coop at night. Recycled pallets for the lower walls, free roofing off and wire fence off craigslist, paid about $60 for framing, hardwire mesh and nails/brackets/locks. Also got free sand which is about 3-4 inches deep! My husband put the sand in and screwed a few screws I had a hard time with but otherwise I built this myself on the hottest days of the year. I am
Pretty proud myself since I know nothing about building anything!
