Have a 10x10 outdoor dog kennel that I will be using for a run with hardware cloth and a 6x8 coop. I’m struggling with how to attach the kennel to the coop and how to add a chicken door to the run. Any suggestions?

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...

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 want to attach this dog kennel to my coop and to also have my chickens to be able to go under coop. What would be the best way to attach because it’s longer then the coop?

...omlet cube and 6ft run for 6 hens. Any ideas on how to rig the omlet run to a larger walk-in run? I was thinking of just getting a covered dog kennel to use as a walk-in run and adding HWC for reinforcement against predators. I think it would be cheaper than getting the walk-in run from omlet...

Can you get a rabbit or dog kennel? I'd say 1 inch mesh.

That's what I use for a Run, a dog kennel. But I'm aware that it's not at all predator proof. So I locked them up in my barn like coop at night that nothing, not even a mouse can get in.

Buy the largest enclosed dog kennel you can find. How many chickens are you expecting to keep? If you are using chicken math, 9+9=18 chickens. I have aerial predators (eagles, hawks, owls, falcons), my run (enclosed dog kennel) has kept my girls safe. Where are you located? I want to warn you of...

I could get one of those cages but their floor is at poop level. I can biuld one easy enough and have the door where I want it.

I’m too old and fat to crawl under to get eggs our birds that might need gathering from under there so I would keep them out, BUT, if I had to do it, I would put chicken wire or hardware cloth around the bottom of the coop and cut a hole in the dog kennel fence that allows them under the coop.

Most successful way I've done it that I liked the best was all my breeding males year round have their own chain-link dog kennel with a small shelter (medium to large dog crate works great), when it's breeding season I simply add one or two hens depending on what mating I want to do.

Look for a free dog house or kennel type structure. That might tide you over until you have time to build properly. BTW, chickens also love to eat the rigid insulation (pink or blue stuff). Have no idea why, but my girls free-ranging on 75 acres preferred to run to the garage area and eat...

One long support down the middle (raised higher than the sides of the kennel) The slope aides rain and snow run off.

Hi Backyard Chicken Tenders! We're looking at purchasing new property and it has a kennel with a small dog run that leads into a larger fenced in run that we think would be perfect for our chickens. I'm brainstorming what we would need to do in order to get our flock set up. Right now, we'll...

This went on for 3 years. One was even hit by a car once and hopped around on 3 legs for 5 months
