This looks nice, but how does it connect to the coop (or roosting room)?

LOL I was about to ask for ideas to make portable chicken runs. Thanks

I live in the south and grow sorghum as a natural shade/fence for my garden. I just looked it up and chickens can eat sorghum, so this year I'll plant a row along one side of my run. It grows about 8 ft tall and regrows great. It doesn't need a lot of dirt to grow in and is drought resistant. I would think you could grow many sorts of grains next to the run to provide shade. Here's a video I found. Kind of "corny" ha ha.

My new one month old chicks want to graze. I happen to have some 12' perforated E D S plastic drainage pipe 4 1/2 " diameter that have 1" holes. Im wondering if I could use the smallest pvc and make arches then cover with chicken wire - thus making this a flexible chicken run that I could attach to the coop so they can come and go. I can move the run around letting them explore new areas of the lawn.Sound crazy?? If I use wood it wouldn't be flexible and less ease in movement.

I saw your post on using the perforated drainage pipe instead of wood. Were you able to try this?

1/2 inch PVC and the runners are 7ft long and 4 ft wide. We stapled the chick wire and zip tied it together and to the PVC. Ill post a few more pics of it today

Ok please tell me all the material I need to buy
