Sure! Our run is about 20'x30' with a 8'x4' coop in one corner. The perimeter of the run has a 6" post every 6' that stands 10' high. The top of all the posts are connected by a metal wire. On this wire we have plastic fencing (same gridded stuff that is used for construction, but dark green instead of construction orange) for the "roof" of the run. The sides are two types of fence. From ground to top is chicken wire fencing. This is strictly to discourage the hens from getting out. And the bottom 5' has very thick gauged wire fencing as well, which keeps predators out (though living in the downtown of a city that is just dogs really, and most dogs around us don't care because lots of people have chickens where we live). The compost system is setup so that there are four, 4'x4'x4' compost areas next to one another (constructed with pallets). Every three months we change which compost pile gets new material added to it. We mostly let the chickens do all the work of turning, and once a week we just go and throw everything back into the pile. It takes about 12 months for a pile to be ready to go, so we get a new 4'x4'x4' pile of compost every three months or so (I said 3 month turn around in my previous post, I was thinking of every three months we change piles, not ready compost every three months). Because we take so long to compost and because we have chickens that do much of the work of digesting, we compost everything we can. Normal stuff like vegetables and leaves, but also all our food, including bones and meat and sugars. There is a deer carcass in one of my piles right now, by the time we dug out that pile most of the bones will be dust, the skull will be pretty much the only thing left over. We never see any issues with bad germs in our compost because we let it cook so long and let the chickens eat the stuff that most people say not to compost (and birds have titanium stomachs). We use old and bad hay/straw from my wife's clients (she's a farrier and horse trainer) as the "browns" in the compost, which makes up the bulk of the matter in there.
