I connected a 50 ft pallet fence to my chicken run this year to extend my yard then white washed it.Its beautiful! Now my yard is bigger and 3 sides of my chicken run can be protected by my dogs.The other side faces my house. Next spring I plan on attaching chicken tunnels to the pallet fence (on the inside) Connecting the tunnels to the inside of the fence hides them from public view, makes them stronger and better protects them from predators.Nothing can get on top on the chicken tunnels and crush them because the top of the tunnel is connected to the side of the fence.Out of sight out of mind.No one is able to see the tunnels in your yard (as long as they're up against the fence) If you planted shrubbery in front of the tunnels you can't see them from your house either.

I watched this with the sound off, no cc, because I was listening to a different show on another device. Seemed pretty detailed, will do in the future for chicken tunnel or catio tunnel/walkway. I knew this is what I wanted, but not very good at putting things together, just see the finished product in my head, so this is awesome. I'm going to watch it again with sound. Hopefully, I can get my kid to watch so she'll help me build. Thanks for the video.

I’m seriously going to borrow your idea for my cats! All the other tunnels I’ve seen have an open bottom which would be a problem with one of my cats. Knowing his determination, he would dig out under the tunnel even if it had a million stakes to hold it down. Your tunnel makes it impossible for him to do that. Eventually I plan to get chickens, so I would love to also do tunnels around the edge of my garden for them.

Well thought-out build. Hammer tip - great! I like the suggestion for cutting the wire and using the leftovers to tie it all together - perhaps every second one would be enough. It's given me some ideas - and you could square it off using the board and hammer if you wanted straight sides and a straight roof. Thanks for uploading, much appreciated.

the welded wire fencing has open spaces which are too large IMHO. I use 1/4" hardware cloth b/c desperate predators can reach through the fencing you are using in this video. Animals that can 'grab' will reach through and pull and eat on whichever part of your feathered babies they can reach. Your video is great and you do an awesome job explaining everything well. I'd just use something with smaller spaces between the wire.

Nicely done! For all the people worried about how big the fence holes are - this is a space for ranging during the daytime when they can be supervised, and opportunistic daytime predators would not be an issue; and nocturnal predators would not be a threat. The chickens would be in their safe, secure space over night, and even during the day if people aren’t home to keep an eye on them. Looks fine and dandy to me!

1/4” hardware cloth is the only material that will protect your chickens. Atleast a foot skirted at the bottom all the way to the top. Just doing the bottom will not suffice. Predators will climb and get in the larger holes. Very expensive unfortunately but many of us have learned the hard way. Milk, measles, rats etc can fit through extremely small holes. Just don’t want people getting the wrong idea that their chickens will be safe with this type of enclosure 😢

I don't have chickens yet but I am trying to get informed on building a coop, a run, and a chicken "chunnel" extension. I love that you didn't need to use any lumber for the tunnel part. I've seen where people build a wood or pvc frame then cover it with hardware cloth or fence. I'm just wondering if having the wire at the bottom will make it hard for the chickens to scratch around for insects? I'm new to all of this so I am genuinely asking. The ones I've seen mostly use ½ hardware cloth. But I see this one here is a fence with wider openings.

It’s very solid even not having a wood frame and less expensive! They are able to scratch and peck pretty good with the wire bottom but it’s there mostly to protect them from stray dogs in the neighborhood!❤️

Nice tunnel first one I saw that I think I truly like. Had thought of making a three way on end of first length before going on lawn. Three slide gates with mating pinned square transition so you can go left right or straight. Maybe easier to add flex tube at three way point.

First of all I like to congratulate you ❤️ great idea and that shows the love and care for your beautiful chickens! I think it can be even better if you could cut the bottom part in the middle and bend it outward and fin a secure way to hold it down and wild animal proof so there is no way they could sneak under. That'll give your precious chickens a chance to scratch the ground and grab some nutritious bugs! Thank you and God bless you 🙏🙏

That is a very good question! We live i south Alabama and yes there are plenty of rattlesnakes down here but we live smack dab in the middle of town so I’ve never seen one but we do have rat and chicken snakes but no problem with them! Very good question but to be honest I don’t have any answers for that 🥴

They won't scratch up your yard, because they won't scratch on that wire for sure - just peck through it. Neat idea to make it somewhat moveable.

Yes they are able to scratch to their hearts content! After several months dirt, debris, grass will accumulate above the wire allowing them to scratch and peck all they like 😊. Thanks for the sub. My next video tutorial will be a chicken tractor that will have another door at the end of the tunnel!

My husband made a short chicken tunnel a few years ago so they can go from inside their coop to the run outside keeping them safe from predators. I live in city limits so our predators is mostly cats next door or occasional opossum. We have outside dogs but the chickens are in my vegetable garden fenced off from the dogs. I like your idea though to give them a little more roaming space
