Whether you are rearing chickens for egg production, for meat or for simply being pets, choosing a good chicken run can be a daunting task. You require a secure, ample and sturdy shelter that will protect your birds from predators while at the same time providing them with space to move around in.
Our guide and advice will help you make the right decision and purchase the best chicken run for your needs and pocket. Let’s get started and find out how to protect and entertain your flock at the same time!
A chicken run is an open-air compound that is either adjacent to or around the chicken house. It provides a safe area where your chickens can walk, peck, and even enjoy the sun without any risk of being attacked by a predator. It is more like a play area for the poultry; an area that elicits their instincts and boosts on their physical well-being.
Aviary style run is a large area, which is sometimes even high enough for a person to move around inside. This type of pen gives your fowl enough room to roam, flap, and perch ideal for large groups or active birds.
A henhouse combo is a combination of a henhouse and a run, where the former is an enclosed structure for chickens and the latter is an enclosed space connected to the henhouse. This setup provides the chickens with a home and a safe space outside and this way your chickens will be well protected from predators.
A hutch run is a short, often elevated, structure with an enclosed compartment at the base. This kind of run is ideal for small areas and provides protection for your birds to scratch and peck.
These are the basic pens enclosed by fences that offer the chickens enough space to move around. They come in different sizes and are ideal since they allow your chickens to roam around while at the same time ensuring that they do not escape.
A chicken run is more than just an enclosure—it's a space where your chickens can thrive. To ensure you pick the best one, consider the following points to weigh when selecting your fit.
To move around, every chicken requires approximately 10 square feet of area in the run. For instance, if you have 6 chickens, the recommended size of the run should be at least 60 square feet (6’ x 10’).
The materials used in the construction should be strong and should be able to withstand various weather conditions. Galvanized steel or heavy duty plastic coated wire is preferred instead of iron to avoid rusting and durability in extreme weather conditions.
It is important to make sure that the run is safe from the predators. Secure the area with wire mesh having small gaps that cannot be forced open by raccoons and other predators with a gap of not more than half an inch. Also, the fact that the door is locked guarantees that no unauthorised person will be able to enter the room.
Think about the fact whether you require a stationary run or a mobile one. Mobile runs, or chicken tractors, can be moved around your yard, this way the chickens are always able to graze on fresh grass without overgrazing a certain area.

As for the space, it is recommended to give the chickens at least 10 sq ft per chicken for free ranging.
New chickens should be quarantined for not less than thirty-one days to avoid the spread of diseases within the farm. Introduce them gradually by placing the newcomers in a different but conspicuous position in the run. Be observant of aggressive signs and have multiple feeding and watering locations available for the chickens.
Sand or gravel flooring is preferred as it provides good drainage and easy to wash the floor. Clean up droppings and replace the bedding materials frequently. Incorporate a deep litter method during winter months to address the issue of waste and at the same time, insulate the area.
