Tunnel between Omlet coop and run

[Lang0n]

Hi,

Sharing our solution for connecting an Omlet go UP coop with a Zippi run. We got the run with a skirt and used the skirt pieces to build a makeshift tunnel. Much cheaper than buying the tunnels, which are really meant for rabbits. Might not work for larger chickens but our bantams love it and can now freely travel between coop and run giving them a lot more space

Smart idea. The only question I have is how do the 2 chickens going opposite ways (or trying to over take each other) go through the tunnel without breaking it? Apart from that I think it’s a really smart idea. Also welcome to BYC.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. We haven’t had them meeting each other in the tunnel many times! Although we only built it a couple of days ago. When they have met they were able to squeeze past, but again we do have small hens so not sure what would happen with bigger chickens! It’s really sturdy with all the clips so no chance of it breaking

I should also mention that the tunnel is easily removable so we can have them safely locked up in the coop at night or when we aren’t home
