Enclosed Ramp

[Anita H]

we moved an old shed next to existing coop there is a gap between the two buildings. Need to enclose ramp so they can't get out or predators get in. Will chickens go thru a tunnel?

If there's a tunnel, you won't be able to prevent them from using it.

yes chickens will go through a tunnel, from that picture, I'm not sure where you're planning a tunnel? do you intend to use the shed for the hen house but want to give them access to the old coop with the tunnel? yes, that will work

I have a tunnel between the run attached to my coop and a larger secondary run. No problems with it being used.

I'm convinced that chickens see tunnels as amusement park rides, I've never seen a chicken not use a provided tunnel.

I'm in the process of building a "chook play ground" that will have at least two tunnels attached to a cube for them to play king of the cube on. There will also be a swing and teeter totter. I got the idea for these "toys" from watching chickens in with goats, the chickens were playing with the same "toys" the goats played on and with, except for the swing, that is a fairly standard chook toy.
