Shade

Other then the addition of a the upgrade to another door, I've been pretty happy about my chicken coop design and run set up.  Even though its been snowing every week, I was thinking about the hot summer days and that the chickens may need some shade.  The area under the coop, was fenced in on one side which prevents the chickens from getting out.  This also made the space under the coop useless.  I decided to take down that wood and then put some wire fencing in on the other sides to allow the chickens a place to hang out under the coop but still be in the larger fenced in area.  I made the quick modifcation one Friday afternoon and the next sunny morning, the chickens were all under the coop digging at the dirt and getting comfortable.  :)  I hope this provides them a cool enough place for the summer!
