To solve this problem, we needed a safe, protected space that could be moved around to different areas of the yard. However, that still leaves them vulnerable from a hawk or eagle. Our six foot fences are probably more than adequate to keep the hens from getting out of the yard.
We’d love to let our hens roam freely around the backyard, giving them the freedom to scratch up bugs and worms wherever they please. All you’ll need is some PVC pipe and fittings plus some netting. Here’s an easy and inexpensive way to give your chickens a little more room to run with safety from aerial predators. We even included the parts list we used so you can get started on this today. Do you want to give your chickens more room to roam and still keep them safe? A PVC pipe chicken run may be just the answer.
