Here it is all fleshed out.
You can see all the stuff I'd mentioned previously, plus all new fancy clear corrugated roofing not only on the run's sloped roof, but also on the coop.
You're supposed to dig down and create an "underground fence" at both sides and bottom so varmints don't burrow under and swipe yer chickens (thanks,
Sarah for that tip). Our ground is soooo hard and rocky I just was NOT gonna do this. So instead, I trapped corrugated metal siding underneath the framing for the run...extending out from udner it just a hair on all four sides, and then trapping it some more with big cinder blocks all around which also lock the whole structure in place a bit.
Once the metal flooring saw trapped in and the cinder block built up on the sides, we filled the whole thing with about 8" of idrt for them to scratch in and keep them above water level when outside during the wet, wet winters here.
