Thank you!  That is exactly what I just did.  Right now the new hens are small enough that I was able to dedicate a small run to a temporary coop to keep them in.  Good thing too as one of the larger hens is a pecking machine and guarding her coop rather angrily at the moment.  HOPEFULLY I don't need a larger coop or run as we are in the suburbs, and while ok to have a few chickens, I don't want to rock the board with my neighbors by installing something of an eye sore for them.  

Sounds like you have a lot of land!  I have been pressing my wife to move to the country more as of late.  IF we do, I plan to have more then just chickens. For now the free eggs are great!
