This is the side behind the coop. They will enter the tunnel through a small hole we will cut into the deer fencing. They will be able to circle around the whole garden and re-enter through a hole we cut on the other side. We don't want them to get confused or feel trapped on the other side!

The big picture. We can lounge on our deck and be entertained by the chickens all day!

Chicken's eye view.

The tunnel on the opposite side of the coop where they can re-enter the main run area. As you can see, we are securing the additional 6 inches of 2x2 fencing we laid on the ground with leftover firewood. There are angled landscape staples where the fencing first hits the ground, then the fence is bent at about 90 degrees and laid on the ground. Eventually grass and weeds will grow between the logs and through the fencing, protecting the tunnel from predators (in theory, at least;)

The view from inside the veggie garden.

Here you can see the coop.

We built a gate and fence with chicken wire inside the deer fencing to divide the veggies from the inside chicken run. The A-frame coop is to my right.
