    Underground Tunnel to Connect Coop & Run

    Needed to maintain the walkway from front to back yard, so I dug a 10’ tunnel to connect the coop area & a 20’ x 15’ run area. 16” wide by 16” tall. Used deck boards and galvanized fencing for the top with spaces for light & air. One hatch was inspired by “Lost” & the other is a toilet...

    Is 12 to 18 inches wide enough for a chicken tunnel?

    I have about a 65-75 foot stretch of fence and I'm thinking about adding a chicken tunnel along the fence is 12 to 18 inches wide enough?

    Coop Size and Trampoline Run

    This is my first time posting but I’ve been here often. Thank you for all the great answers! I’m a first time chicken keeper. I have 3 silkie bantams and 2 silked Easter Eggers. I tried to attach a picture of the coop that I have. Hopefully it worked. I now know these prefab coops probably...

    CHUNNELS?!? (AKA chicken tunnels)

    Hello, I posted yesterday about keeping free range chickens out of a play area. The consensus was... I can't. Now I'm onto to CHUNNELS. This seems like it could be a great alternative, but I have a couple questions from folks who have them. 1) How do you clean them? Or do you not need to? Our...

    Bugs Beware; there are chickens in the garden moat

    While I have been planning on getting chickens for several years, we finally decided this was the year. The plan all along was to use the chickens to try and keep the bugs out of the garden beds. I had originally envisioned a chicken tractor that i moved once a week or so, but then I realized I...

    Chunnel Project

    After watching the Fixer Upper episode where they built the Chunnel around their raised beds I have been wanting to do something similar in my backyard. I started by sketching it out on paper and then had a fence built around my metal coop. The fence is cedar with no climb panels because we have...

    Chunnel?

    Where can I buy a Chunnel (chicken tunnel)? I see a lot of diy ones, but I just want to buy one. This picture I found on Amazon is what I want, but they don’t sell it anymore. Anything similar to it?

    Hula Hoop Chunnel

    I got a little overzealous -- that's what happens when you're shopping for baby chicks and have kids with you -- and bought 20 chicks and 2 ducks. We have a barn with a convenient stall that goes out to the ground over our septic field but we have to get the chickens through or around a small...

    New run with chunnel connector

    It seemed like our original 5’ x 10’ run was too small for our 3 hens, so we just added an 8’ x 16’ run to give them more room. We built the new run in panels in the garage, connected the panels on site, added a roof (Tuftex panels, cut with scissors), and then added hardware cloth to the walls...

    Chicken Tunnel

    WINTER IS COMING Fall is here and it's time to start prepping the garden for winter. To help in the work involved I have enlisted my Golden Comets. The challenge I faced was how to allow the chickens safe and consistent access to the garden that is on the other side of the yard. My solution...
