The Chicken Run...is Done! NEW PICS!

[Poupoulles]

I like this A LOT. I am totally going to steal this idea for my brooder house. I think it would really work for me as a "porch" for when I first start to let new critters out. PLease show how you do the doors and end pieces.
Good job!

I just used some wire that I had, cut little pieces, bent them in to a U shape, then twisted them like a bread tie, but with pliers.

I haven't made the door/hatch for it yet (next weeks project). But it will be a simple square that will fit inside one of the bigger open squares. Going to use PVC for that too. I will make it swing up and catch on a latch.

That is awesome! That is exactly how I was thinking you did it but just wanted to make sure I wasn't overthinking it, lol...
I am on my way to the hardware store right now to get the fittings to make my little ones a small tractor and see how it works here where I live. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you don't mind me borrowing the idea.

Not at all, its quick, easy and cheap. The thing about PVC is if you mess up, just cut it out and do it again!


Send us pics!

Will you bury the poles down into that ditch you've dug?
