Could you just move and park the tractor close along the garden fence?Kinda thinking about doing the chunnel idea around the garden, if nothing more than to give the girls a chance to snag bug that are trying to get at the veggies. During the warmer months my coop is a tractor and I move it around the yard some to let them get fresh grass and keep the poop from piling up too much in one spot. for fencing around the coop I use 5 foot wide plastic netting that I move around via some PVC stands and pin down the edges with landscaping pins. Kinda thinking that I could do that as well with a Chunnel affect. Just might have to get creative with connecting it with the main pen when I move that around.
I actually couldn't find the vid on youtube at first. Had to search BYC for where I saw it, was a link, then I found it on youtube.That vid is great....too bad there's no more info on the rest of this system.
Oh cool...I followed their blog addy link from youtube but it was defunct?
I could, but it can get tight with the movable pen around the coop as well. I'm thinking that with a chunnel addition, it would allow the girls a chance to pick off bugs that might be coming to the garden. Plus just give them another spot to hang out at.Could you just move and park the tractor close along the garden fence?
Most of them don't have 'floors'.I have a question about constructing chunnels...Are they supposed to have a wire floor? Because I haven't seen images with a bare floor. Wouldn't the wire on the bottom defeat the purpose which is for the birds to turn over the soil and look for insects? I have some welded wire and hardware cloth and just wanted to build the chunnel with these items minus the floor. Is this a good idea?
The wire floor would mostly be so that they couldn't dig out underneath it, or that something else couldn't dig into the chunnel area to access your chickens. That would be what you would want to keep in mind there with that.I have a question about constructing chunnels...Are they supposed to have a wire floor?
