In my case the chicken end is the shadiest end, so that will always been a permanent run, but I do hope to put in some other connected runs and others elsewhere I could transport the chickens too. For instance I have this one, cleared, but very steep slope (greater than 45 degrees). I might trellis in some grape there - but how will I keep weeds down and mow? It will have to be chickens or goats or sheep or something. I'm lazy like that, I'm just thinking of ways to make animals work for me, meat and or eggs are a byproduct.
