Is only a run enough?

I have an run/cage that's about 9.5 feet by 4 feet in size, would that be enough for 1 rooster and 2 to 3 hens.

Can I get by with just a run and no coop?

I live in a area with pretty mild weather with the coldest temps being around 15 degrees Celcius and have no real predators

Any ideas for adding nesting boxes?
I was thinking I should make them raised/above the ground so they take up less ground space but don't have any designs for inspiration
The size sounds fine. If you get storms at all, you'll want to give them some protection and some shade. Look around for a small, used dog house. Put up on some blocks, it would work just fine. An outgrown child's playhouse is fun, too - both for you to decorate and look at and your birds to explore. You can generally come by those really cheaply, too - and you may find one with built-in nest boxes in the form of a play refrigerator!
