DIY Chicken Tunnel for Backyard

February 8, 2016

DIY Chicken Tunnel is a great way to keep your chickens where you want them and lets them have more freedom and access to more bugs and weeds. Urban homesteaders usually have very limited space in their backyards. The chicken tunnel allows the chickens to roam around the backyard freely, whilst keeping them away from your garden. At the same time they are safe from other animals and they won’t get lost either. Great for the chickens!

Here are some pictures of how these tunnels look and are made.

DIY Chicken Tunnel is a win win situation, chickens want to roam free, but we want to keep the out of flower beds and off of walk ways where their droppings are a nuisance. So these chicken tunnels make sense. You can wind the chickens out to a certain area where you can open up a fenced area where they have lots of freedom and then tunnel them back, avoiding areas like flower beds and garden plants . A typical DIY chicken tunnel can be built using slats of wood and chicken wire. The idea is to construct a frame that will be covered with chicken wire.
