Update: So far so good with the sun sail! If I had it to do over again, I might even make it bigger. As it is, it's about 80" x 50". I'll also probably add a drainage hole/flap in the middle so it doesn't get saggy with rain water.

Birds-eye-view of the new sun shade
In anticipation of the inevitable heat of July, today I made a sun sail for the chicken run. I bought a couple yards of rip stop from the fabric store & a pack of grommets. An hour later: voila! It looks like it might storm tonight so we'll see how it holds up.

Roosting!
Our hens have access to a roosting bar which they NEVER use. I'm not sure why -- roosting is supposed to be a normal chicken behavior. Who knows. But this morning we caught them roosting, just like real chickens!
