Love this! I'll have to put some chicken tunnels in my run for the girls to play with!One twilight, when we were putting our birds in the henhouse after supervised freeranging and the nightly meal, I did the nightly quick visual sweep of the landscape and heard the sound of soft whining, "mmm, mmmmmm..." Outside the run, near some chicken supplies was some new rolls of tightly-wound chicken wire lying on its side (previously standing upright). Walked over to investigate, and realized there were THREE pullets who'd squeezed into the tight wire roll- lying flat, like chicken sausages! Poor girls couldn't move, or back out as their feathers had locked them into place. We had to gently unroll the girls as they whined, which looked funny as they slowly spun loose. No one was hurt, thankfully. We figured that they could only have been there since dinner when they must have finished and wandered off. After making sure they had plenty to drink and eat, we loosened all (or future) fencing/ wire rolls in case they decide to explore again. Now, we have a large, loose roll inside the pen, as they seem to like to crawl in the tunnel. Lesson learned! lol
