Chicken Chunnel off of run to run extension (and pics of coop)

[MaryTN]

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

Thank you! Yes! The main run is super secure with hardware clothe. This will be for when we are out working or playing in the yard.

How cute is that chunnel! Is that just going to be open for supervised outside time?

Love all the louvered vents too in the coop.

Wow that's quite a set up! We talked about chunnels when we built our coop but I'm glad we waited as i now need to expand both runs and coops.

We too waited until they got settled in their secure run. Then we felt like they needed more space but only had it down the hill. So we built this over the last several weekends and open it up when we are outside. Feels good to give them more space and more secure than just letting them out when we are out there. Just saw a bald eagle in our neighborhood today so we really try to keep our girls safe!

I'm going to show this to my husband and ask him to make one for our chickens. I want to make a chicken moat around part of the garden, and this would be a fantastic way to connect that to the run.

Great job!

This is awesome! Looking at making a Chunnel. I don’t know how else to keep my girls safe. I’ve lost 4 in 16 months and it’s devastating. They have been on lockdown for 2 weeks and it’s miserable.. for me and them! Is there a reason you only use the Chunnel when you are outside instead of free access?

The chunnel in the photos is made of chicken wire and would be an easy way in for almost any predator ... especially with all night to get through.
