chicken run

Fenced fowl area

A chicken run is an enclosed outdoor area attached to a chicken coop, allowing birds to roam, forage, and exercise while protected from predators.

The fencing typically extends overhead to prevent escapes and keep out hawks.

We built a chicken run so they could scratch in the dirt during the day.
