Hi Cap, it's nice to have you here! Tell your wife for me she has a lovely name (coincidently it's the same as mine, spelling-wise too) I always thought the tunnels were an excellent way of getting the chickens some protected outdoor time plus keep them out of the garden. Good luck with all your plans and thanks for joining us!
