Right then

Posting has been scarce due to me suddenly fostering a young adult female red-eared terrapin over the past few weeks. But she's off to her new forever home and I can focus on the chickens once more.
My Christmas present from my family this year is building material for their new run. I would have been further along with the building by now, but rain + kitty-cat emergency (he got better) got in the way. But the idea is to have an all-enclosed fox- and rat-proof 12' x 6' x 6' run that their coop can then go inside. The remaining non-coop space (about 8' x 6' x 6') will then be divided into four sections that they can freely move between. Miss Muscle's Gym will be all perches and little stools that they can jump on and off to get exercise. Pretty Chicken Spa will be all compost, sand and diatomaceous earth for dust-bathing. The Foragery will have their food bowls and have the floor covered in straw and wood chippings for them to dig through for treats, and also have things like cabbages on strings hung from the roof. Get Off My Lawn will be turf for them to eat and tear up. That's the plan, anyway.
