Chicken run ideas

[tlarson]

My chickens are currently in one end of the barn with an automatic door leading outside. Right now they run free around my yard. The problem is they are digging up everything from my flowers to my garden! I have a fenced in "pasture" that I want to contain them in. My question is what do I need to build to get them from the automatic door on the barn to the "pasture"? It's about 10-15 feet away. Just looking for ideas.

How about a tiny hoop coop 15 ' along Research on this. Like the garden ones or you can use :2"x4" welded wire that is bent in a U shape and have a tiny tunnel.

And by the way,

Chunnels.
Here's an incredible chunnel/chicken tilling operation!

Thank you for the ideas! I've looked into both of them and I think the chunnels are the ideal way for my situation.

I saw some other chunnels, can't find the thread, made in 8 foot sections that were used in the same situation that you have.
