Building a Chicken Run

I am attempting to build a chicken run for my babies and I have to say it is not as easy as I was hoping. Mostly because I am building it by myself, going to school full time and trying to take care of the kids. So, basically in the mornings before class I spend about an hour outside trying to get the ground ready just so I can start cutting the wood. At least I have almost all the supplies I need to get it done. I have the redwood and sand. I just need to get the hardware cloth to keep my babies secure. I am also thinking of doing a covered roof, but a clear one so they can still get sun. I also need to find plans on how to make a door so that I am able to get in there and clean and take care of them.  I need to make a planter box that can go on the outside so I can do some Rosemary and Lavender and maybe even some sage. This is all just to keep the bugs down, and not really for any other reason. I know it is a pain in the butt to do this by myself, but it will eventually get done.

With that being said, so far I think I have one for sure Rooster out of my bunch. Seems to me that Susanna the Chicken is now Susanna the Rooster. She stands like a Rooster and even does the Rooster jump at my daughter. I am hoping that I am completely wrong, but I don't think I am.  Here is the cute Susanna the Rooster. 

I have read that Easter Eggers can look like Roosters for a bit and since Olive Eggers are an off shoot of Easter Eggers, it is possible I am totally wrong. I got to say, the more I am learning about chickens, the more I realize I need more space so I can have a bazillion breeds in my backyard. I really want to get a cute little chicken village going on so that I can have a variety of chicken breeds.  When that happens, I will be sure to post photos. 

With that being said, be good to one another. End the hate.
