I want to let my hens 'free range' a bit, but still make sure they return to the coop at night. We occasionally have loose dogs, and my barn
'kittens' are becoming monster-sized cats, fantastic hunters, and totally fascinated with the chickens, so letting the hens run loose is not an option.
I was thinking i could make a low covered pen, maybe with pvc and chicken wire, covered with the flight netting. To get the hens into the pen from their run, i
was thinking maybe something like a dog agility tunnel - i could move the pen around, and the tunnel can expand or contract as needed. If i wanted to go
farther, and it works out okay, i could always add a second tunnel to the length (trying to figure out if i can make a tunnel, b/c a regular agility tunnel is
nylon fabric, not terribly durable, and it a little wider circumference-wise than i need.
Does this sound like a workable idea?
