I have pastured hens... They are in the coop at night and 99% of the time during the day they are in an old large backyard turned chicken pasture. I have 10 hens that are a year old and I bought 7 chicks to add to the flock. Since this is the first year they will spend the whole summer out in...

I have 10 chicks that I am beginning to construct a coop and run for. I was thinking of making them a multi-run system where they would have one portion of the run they always have access to in (the part closest to the coop) and then have 2 or 3 other sections that I am able to shut them off...
