I have a dog kennel with small coops now, but we are upgrading to 1 big coop. The problem is connecting the new coop to the dog kennel that they use for a run, do I cut a hole in the kennel where the chicken door opens. I also bought two fence panels that I was going to place at the chicken door...

I have a medium size indoor dog kennel I want to use as a brooder for a little bit older chicks.. like 3 weeks old. However, they kick Shavings out everywhere! What advice or solutions could anyone give me because over all its perfect, except for that lol

...tom turkey into his shed each night. But we have nasty urban coyotes and he is not safe on the deck rail. I am thinking about getting this dog kennel and putting it on the deck where he sleeps now. This way he is in his chosen location, but protected by a cage. I will open it every morning...

Hello everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my 4 silkie girls' run. I came across chain link fences. More specifically, chain link dog kennels. 1) Any recommendations for chain link dog kennels? (Links/websites would be very helpful) 2) What should I do about the open top? Any ideas for covering...

I just got 8 hens, about 4 inch's on height . I took care of father in laws chickens for a couple of years, under His supervision in my early 20"s. I'm 50 now just now a first time chicken owner. I could use all the help that I can get.

We're looking to purchase a dog kennel as our chicken run. We have a prefab coop that will be placed inside. Looking for recommendations that won't break the bank. We will be placing it on one side of our barn and we currently have 8 layers (BAs and SGs). Appreciate your guidance!

I have an old wood, appears to be 6x4’ shed that I’m thinkin I could cut a hole in the side and put up a 10x4 dog kennel as a duck run. First off, does anyone here have a set up like this I could see? And does anyone know where I can find one on the more affordable side?? Thanks in advance!!

I am having to separate my girls since they are being hurt. My other fence is broken and if I let them free range they will be eaten. Will an 8x10 all day coop be okay until I can get rid of some boys? I'm thinking it'll be a few months before I can. I will be giving them fresh hay, grass and...

...initially planned on free ranging then we built it but then when it came time I was terrified after seeing hawks show up. So we got a 8x8 dog kennel and attached it to the run and through some netting over the top temporally just so I could get them more space ASAP. I still lock them in to...

Hi there! We inherited a 20x30 dog kennel chicken run and I just put a new coop in it and now want to cover it but I want to have it be predator proof. My main concern is raccoons! I have some corrugated metal sheeting I want to put over the coop in the run to keep it out of the elements but I’m...

Folks, the search function on this site is failing me. Most of what I can find folks using chain link dog kennels for is moderate security daytime runs. Which is great, but I need to build a top security, fully predator proof Ft. Knox open air covered coop/run. I'm having trouble finding...

...roofs. But I’m not sure how I would support the middle of the 20 ft span it would go over on the one side. - I considered doing the dog kennel metal roof frame and matching the roof direction of the coop going left to right. (The type of dog kennel roof where it is like a metal gable and...

Hi from West Texas! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We first came into the care of a dozen chicks, 5 ducklings, a gosling, and a puppy in about 2000, not by choice. My husband and I had become den leaders for our son's rural Cub pack, and it was a tradition that...

...run to give my hens more space while they remain locked up. I was thinking of attaching and adapting a 10x10 (larger would also be fine) dog kennel to my existing run, but I know the quality of the wire or chain link can vary a lot (I of course will fortify with plenty of hardware cloth)...

Hello everyone! I'm going to be a new chicken Momma! I have an old 10 x 10 x 6 dog kennel that has two doors. The kennel itself has an aluminum roof over half of it and is set on railway ties that are buried about 8 inches into the ground. I'm trying to decide on if I should build their house...

Need to enclose the flock all the time for now because we’ve lost too many hens to predators. We do live in rural SoCal mountains and we have bobcats and coyotes here daily as well as hawks. Electro netting seems easy enough (though we’d need to work around trees and fences) but I can’t cover...

Hello everyone! So about a year ago I lost my chickens due to what I’m pretty sure was a raccoon. They were in an old dog run with chain link fence and a concrete slab to prevent digging, I found out that the roof I had on wasn’t bolted down in some spots which allowed easy access. Anyways, I...

Hi everyone! New to the chicken-keeping thing and we are trying to set up our first home for our chickens. We have a 5x15 chain link dog kennel run that is fortified by hardware wire and has a small commercially built coop in it. We have recently acquired more chicks and want to expand the coop...

So we are about to move and there is an old concreted dog kennel on the property. We were hoping to use it for our flock. Currently, we let them free range in the late afternoon but probably will not for the first few weeks so they can get used to their new home. Any thoughts on using the...
