Quikrete Made Me It's Bitch!
When the chicks were finally big enough to put in the coop and small pen I wanted to find a way to expand their grazing area. Free ranging just isn't going to be a possibility for me because I'm trying to add plants into the yard and those girls can do some serious damage! My solution was to put up a chicken tunnel...chunnel! :-) I put this up along the back fence line by zip tying netting to the chain link fence and using landscaping staples to attach the other side to the grass apx. 3 ft. from the fence. This has been working great but it's not a long term solution... It's fine while they're still relatively small but not only will they need to have more room, I eventually want to plant grapes along that fence line. I finally decided that I'd have to erect a permanent, large pen... So have I mentioned that I live on a mountain....and have a lot of rocks in the clay... BUT...it had to be done so I started dig...
