Getting Organized

My backyard is an active area.  I have been building a section of gated fence for the front of my chicken run and today I ordered vinyl siding to put on the outside of the coop I made several years ago when I first had to face winter with chickens.  I had Calvin and Adam bring the coop to the south side of the yard where it will be close to the slide tower.  I had an idea of putting lattice panels up around the coop but now that I plan to have a layer section protruding from one side it seems even more impractical than it had seemed before.  I have quite a bit of lattice that is in narrow shapes but it is possible I will be able to integrate it in the surrounds of the run beyond what I've done so far.  Meanwhile the chickens are inhabiting a temporary run that consists of my swing pavilion which Richard and I put up nineteen years ago for Eliza's wedding reception in my backyard.  There were no buildings in my backyard when I moved here but there will be four or five by the time I put up what I am calling my 'bug out' shed.
