Chicken tunnels?

[sea2summit]

Anyone build any easily moveable chicken tunnels to let the girls scratch new places in the yard?

I've got three tractor-ish coops going right now but saw an image of a chicken tunnel and it looked like it would solve some of my problems, aka the children could move it themselves:thumbsup:

Looks like you just make a small lightweight hoop house and cover with chicken wire. Can cover part of it with a tarp for shade.

I made a 6.5' x 20' hoop house to cover my boat. Base frame is 2x4s and has 1/2" EMT conduit hoops every 2' (I have a tubing roller). 10' x 20' tarp secured over that keeps the rain and snow out.

Hoops are attached to the 2x4s with two of these 2-hole straps at each end of the hoop:

How do you keep that from turning into a parachute in the wind?

Tied it to the trailer frame in multiple places after that pic was taken.
