Expanding the run

It's 19deg and snowing here today. I don't expect the girls to be coming out of their enclosed area at all. After seeing them staying in there in bad weather we have decided to expand their enclosed area (it's 40sqft but was intended for 4 chickens not 10!). We started getting things ready yesterday when it was 60deg out but didn't have time to get it built before this storm hit. :(

Here is their coop and their current pen. It's wrapped in plastic right now to keep the snow and wind out. This is looking at the front side of the coop with the door ajar. On the ground you can see the wood that will be the new border. This new area will extend to just past that ladder roost.

This view is from the main gate of their whole area. They have an area that is fenced off that they are closed into when we will be gone for extended periods of time or if we see hawks around. Where I am standing to take this pic is the corner of chain link that runs to my right to that wood fence you can see in the background, and straight down the left side of the pic to the fence on that side creating a sort of rhombus shape. You can see we'll be doubling the width of the pen. Yes, those are my neighbors houses in the background of both pics. We live in suburbia (for now at least)!

This tree is the one a hawk was sitting in after it tried to carry off our smallest chick. Which is the reason for the netting that's up now. There are still a few holes in our netting as you can see in the above pic above the pen. Luckily this will get closed off after this extension because we are making the new part taller than the old part so it will fill in this hole.
