But do chickens even need a run around their coop and what is the purpose of having one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chickens need a run around their coop. It provides essential space for exercise, foraging, and natural behaviors, contributing to their overall health and well-being. A run also helps prevent obesity and boredom. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing a run for chickens is about more than just extra space; it&rsquo;s about quality of life. Chickens are naturally curious and active animals. They love to scratch, peck, and forage for food, which a run area facilitates. This space allows them to express these natural behaviors, which is crucial for their mental and physical health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A run also reduces the risk of feather pecking and aggression, common issues in confined spaces. Ideally, the run should be as large as possible, covered to protect from predators, and enriched with perches, dust baths, and vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read on to find out more about the purpose of a chicken run along with some tips on how to create a low-cost run around your coop.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This page contains affiliate links &ndash; for more information check our <a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/privacy-policy\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">privacy policy.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need to buy a chicken run?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of different types of chicken runs which you can buy to connect or go around a coop, but in most cases, they&rsquo;re not always that big or the right shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you can&rsquo;t find a run which fits your needs, then one of the best ways to create a run is by making a simple wire fence around the coop using strong predator-proof wire with wooden posts. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way you can create a larger run in the space of your choice, it can also allow you to create a walk-in style run making it easier to get into the coop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please checkout the chicken coop and chicken run recommended below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do chicken runs need a roof?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a high sided fenced run, you don&rsquo;t have to have a roof, but there may be situations where a roof is advisable, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you have large birds of prey in your area &ndash; small chicken breeds and chicks are especially at risk from birds of prey, even smaller ones such as sparrow hawks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poor weather conditions &ndash; if you live somewhere where it&rsquo;s particularly rainy I would advise having some kind of cover even if it&rsquo;s just partial so the chickens can shelter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the chickens don&rsquo;t have anywhere else to shelter &ndash; if your chickens are allowed to wander outside the run by don&rsquo;t have anywhere else to shelter, some kind of roof covering on the run is a good idea. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For low walled runs, you will definitely need a roof or mesh on top of the run to prevent your chickens from escaping.  Chickens can jump and fly (unless their wings are clipped) much higher than you might think. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some chicken coops like the one below, are raised up which creates a sheltered area underneath the coop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop.jpg 500w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20500%20500'%3E%3Crect%20width='500'%20height='500'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Image-of-a-chicken-coop-150x150.jpg.webp 150w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping chickens in a run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some situations, it may not be possible for you to let your chickens go free-range outside of the chicken run, or you may need to keep your chickens in the run for a period of time.  These situations may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Introducing new chickens to the coop and run &ndash; they will need time in the run with access to the coop to get used to their surroundings and to recognize the coop as home before being allowed to go free-range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you need to separate chickens for some reason &ndash; such as new chickens, illness or keeping chicks and young birds with a mother hen. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Predators &ndash; if you constantly have predators visiting your garden or land and your chickens are at risk from attack. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&rsquo;re planning to keep chickens in a run for long periods of time, the more space you can give them the happier the chickens will be. <\/strong><\/p><p><i>This article was first published on October 12, 2020 by Pentagon-Pets.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will also need constant access to clean water and food when they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chickens will quickly scratch away any grass in a run if it&rsquo;s kept in the same place, if you&rsquo;re keeping your run on grass, you might find it helpful to read the following post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pentagonpets.com\/do-chickens-need-grass-in-their-run\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Do chickens need grass in their

size you will need will allow around 2-3 feet per chicken, this way there will be plenty of free space for them to stretch and graze within the run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy a coop the seller will normally state how many chickens you can keep in that particular space and the same usually goes for ready made runs.  <\/p><p><i>Pentagon Pet is the owner of this article that was first published on October 12, 2020.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&rsquo;s important to check this before getting new chickens because if they don&rsquo;t have enough space the chickens can become frustrated which can lead to aggression and injury. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re making the run yourself, ideally go for three feet per chicken, especially if they&rsquo;re not going to be able to free range outside of the run and coop area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You might also like&hellip;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope
