...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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

...in the spring but I’m guessing that’s totally out of the question space wise. :) 1. Is this one too small for what I have? 2. I did make a chunnel and it goes to our trampoline that’s enclosed underneath. They do free range maybe an hour a day when someone is outside. I had a hawk swoop...

Just thought I’d share our chicken coop and new Chunnel to our run extension!! The girls explored it immediately!

Check out our chunnel!

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...

I've been reading through the chunnel 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...

Hey! Looking for ideas on chicken tunnels or chunnels! Whose done is and how??? Pictures would be a plus if you have them!!! Thanks!

...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...

...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 joined together...

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...

May sound a little dumb.. but what is the cheapest route to go about making a chunnel hawk proof, for my banty chickens in my backyard? What items besides chicken wire do i need for a chicken tunnel ?? Good enough. HOWEVER, where it serves my purpose for hawks Attack prevention though. ...

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?

...wasnt roosting with everyone else ..i have a big backyard.. no dogs no cats. Ugh. I looked for her everywhere underneath stuff! First time i have had one go MIA and not know the official cause SUCKS! whats your opinion of chunnels? Atleast for my banty sized portion and cheapest way to make...

...or around a small lean-to on the barn. I bought a dozen hula hoops thinking I'd cut off the bottom third and use those as the braces for the chunnel. Anyone have experience with this? My chunnel is going to be absurdly colorful, but it was the quickest, cheapest option I could think of...

...walls. The whole thing cost us about six weekends of work and $700. To provide access to the new run from the existing run/coop, we made a chunnel out of 4’ hardware cloth. We learned that a tube made of hardware cloth DOES NOT BEND, so we had to design the tunnel with right angles and then...

...what I've got in mind and hopefully some of you all will have opinions. I have a series of raised garden beds and would like to attach a chunnel to my coop so that my hens can travel around the perimeter of the garden and help keep weeds and bugs in check. Kind of a miniature chicken moat...
