The only reason the chicks were inside at this point is because there were holes in the door to the coop that they can still fit through. Today Fred's mom was going through the garage and she found a bunch of screens on wood frames. She gave them to us to improve the coop. We took the screening off of one of them and stapled that to the door so there's no longer any large holes. I took the other screens and built a small run. You'll see in the pictures, but there's a space underneath the coop that is all fenced in. So when they're big enough not to fit through the gaps in the fencing, I will remove the white fence you see and then the run will be much much bigger. It needs a few more alterations to be perfect, but it's pretty good for stuff that was just lying around. So far the coop and run have cost us $0 (minus the aspen bedding).
