A Coops Progression

We have been working hard in the evenings and on the weekend to get the coop ready. Well first things first we got the tractor and pushed it back into position.
Tada
Ok we boarded up the bottom of the shed so predators couldn't get under it and into where we are building a run.
Then it was time for the fence posts and to roll out the fence. Our run is 16' X 50'
We have three of the 4 sides of the run done at this point, and then we have to figure out the top. We haven't decided what material we are going to use for it yet
We have been letting all of the chickens run together when we are working on the coop. They seem to be getting along relatively well. We are dealing with some of the pecking order stuff, which is to be expected, however we are not putting them together at night yet.
Reba here is still broody and she is quite the grouch. I really hope she and Marie get their feathers back soon. that is why we separated them from the roosters to begin with. They really don't look much better at all.
