anyone ever make a chicken wire tunnel for your birds?
I'm moving back to the suburbs and we have limited money and not much space in the backyard. We were going to buy a garden shed and convert it into a coop, then buy a dog kennel for the run but we don't have money for both, so my dad thought it would be a great idea to section off part of our garage, which i agree is a great idea because there is a corner that is perfect to section off. That solves one problem, but theres not ebough space to keep them in there 24/7 and we are in need of a run, but we just can't cut a hole in the wall, so i had this fantasic idea that my mom agrees with:
We cut a square out of the top right corner of the door to the back yard (the corner where we would have the birds is right next to the backdoor) and make a chicken wire tunnel off the groun outside and to the side of the house where we would have a dog kennel for their run. of course we would have a little doggie door or just a plain chicken door in the hole in the backdoor in the garage so they don't go out at night. Its a perfect idea because our dumb dogs have killed 5 out of the 12 chickens i've had in my life (i have 6 now and another dog before our dogs killed the other one) and they have attempted to kill our 6 chickens (i caught them and punished them before they started ripping apart the coop)
anyone ever made a chicken tunnel? I saw this video of someone who made one, he broke out the treats and the chickens went flying through it
here is the video:
if anyone has made a chicken tunnel, please post pics!!
