    Chunnel construction

    Hi all, Looking to build a permanent chunnel for the chickens around 25m long. What size should it be height and width for bantams? Should we put the mesh along the ground too or just the sides and roof? We live in a area where foxes are the main predator so worried about them digging into the...

    Looking for ideas for Chunnel about 50' long. Also, ideas to keep hawks out...

    We have had a problem with a hawk lately. We live in a pretty urban area that is within 200' of large farm fields. I am looking for photos of Chunnel's or chicken "tunnels" that can be used for the chickens to get to a compost pile about 50 feet away from their coop/run. Please share any...

    Experiment: Chunnel from kids’ play tunnel

    So I built a coop and I built a run, but I’ve even built a channel from EMT that was too big. I googled it and I can’t find it anywhere, but I am doing an experiment using a children’s play tunnel. It won’t be a place for the chickens to hang out although it will give really good shade, it’s...

    DIY Uses of Scrap Hardware Cloth

    Howdy, everybody! I thought I'd share with y'all some different uses I've found for scrap pieces of hardware cloth. My family bought a long roll of ½-inch hardware cloth for the walls of our run. Of course, after building our run, we had plenty of hardware cloth left on the roll—and a ton of...

    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...

    Chunnel with chicken wire question

    Hey all be been looking at doing a Chunnel for a while now. In a perfect world id use hardware cloth or 1x2 galvanized fencing. The dilemma, however, is I’m looking to do 100 ft or more of Chunnel and I’m not looking to spend 100+ on fencing and stakes etc when I currently have 200ish ft of...

    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...

    Chunnels and raised beds

    ...posts and a few have used them around raised beds. I'm wondering how the pest control has been helped by this? Some seem to run the chunnels on the very outskirts of a larger raised bed area. Does that help enough with pest control? Putting them on the perimeter that far away from the...

    We Built a Chunnel Today!

    ...large enough for the 4 leghorns I wanted to provide them with more room and more ability to forage on the ground. I had read about chunnels here on BYC. It seemed to me that a Chunnel would be just the thing I needed. Here are some photos. We talked about the design for a few hours, came...

    Chunnel sections

    Hi We have cleared a section our the community garden that I would live to have the "girls" play in. The section of garden is 50ft from their normal run and a chunnel would have to go past double gates that have to remain accessible. I would like to make light sections of chunnel that can be...

    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?

    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...

    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...
