There are many options for you in adding a chicken run to your coop or barn. With a little extra fortification, the large dog kennels work great for us for our separated, small flocks of chickens and ducks! It could be a great option for you, too!
Enjoy & thanks for watching! xo

I have been really thinking about using this type of fencing. You have helped me make up my mind.
good idea!! <3 xo
Praying 4 U and your family. Can't find the buffs here, have had Rhode Island Reds. There pretty chickens. Have a good night!!!!
Love Love Love my buff orpingtons <3
Thanks! Dog kennel fencing is a great alternative for in many instances less money than those prefab wood crackerboxes sold at the farm stores, and it will last a lot longer too. Ours attaches to the side of a 12×20 garden shed with a smaller roosting room built inside.
anyone know if I get a covered kennel and a few hens do I need a full on coop or can I just use nesting boxes and stuff like that? I live somewhere that has pretty mild weather. It usually ranges from the 70s to 90s in temp. it sometimes drops to the 60s at night but it is not super common. If I do need a full on coop do I need to lock then in at night if they have a kennel? sorry these might be dumb questions.
P, do you free range any of your fowl? Can you explain in a future video as to why you do or don't? Thanks, and keep'um coming..
Those chickens look plump and happy 🙂
instead of blocks at the bottom i use 4 ft chicken wire n put 2 ft up the fence bend it n put 2 ft on the ground
Such a great idea…gonna keep an eye out for dog runs from now on!
You are too much! You got me and my daughters cracking up. "Everything you own in the run to the left" Great idea for a mobile run. luv it!
Why do you keep your buff Orpingtons separate from the other chickens?
This is what I did years ago when I got my first chickens. I have moved it before to change things up. Works perfect!!
HA HA! "Everything you own in the run to the left" 😀 😀 😀 I am dying! OMG! I say things like this all the time. It's totally a Mom thing to say. We think we are being cute and funny and the kids are like "Mooooom Reaaallly!?"
My buffs go broody all the time. Drives me crazy.
my son Stephen likes this idea , because he's hooked on Chickens, now he's looking as he does timber work/homesteading and looking for pigs now lol also! great old video information. <3
Kennels are awsome use them for my chickens but i haf to reiforce lower bottom with hog panels to keep my dogs from tearing them up
When you place your blocks around your run full your hole and plant plants that chicken enjoy. They will be moveable also.
I have a dog run that I am refurbishing into a chicken run/coop… we have tarp roof over the top stabilized by pipes, then we have chicken wire under the coop so nothing can dig under
In tropical countries we provide them with mosquito nets overnight. If not, we always find them disturbed all the night by mosquitoes.
That's what I have. my little coup is inside. Chicken Wire all around
Can you provide a link to where we can purchase a run like this?
Do you reccomend putting some sod down?
Absolutely right those are worth it
Thank you we are new on our land I want chickens but glad I didn’t start so I can get to know the weather and the grounds
I was looking for something easy and mobile
Definitely this will work for us we have a dog kennel for the puppies
My husband thought why not for chickens
Buffy Orpingtons are the best chickens
