    Sprout some of your scratch grains to feed them. It's the best way to extend your feed. You can grow some in a blocked area of your coop run or next to your pen to cut for them

    In your run area make a bed with 2×6" to cover with 1/2" mesh. This can be a area to plant some of your chicken feed. They can eat the greens without being able to scratch the roots up.

    Fine video Chuck.
    I use chopped leaves I collect with my lawn mower to fill my chicken run. The addition of all that carbon eliminates the dreaded chicken smell and the chickens turn it into supper great compost.
    I also have a "salad bar" that's 5 X 8 feet in their paddock. Chickens will keep you young !
    Good luck from Erie County Ohio.

    Awesome! Can't wait to see how you make the chicken tunnel.

    I love your creativity! You gave me some new ideas for creating a run on my new property.

    We made a salad bar box, that I throw red wheat in covered it with hardware cloth so the chickens can’t scratch it up and when the wheat grows it pushes through the cloth! I also put pine bark shavings and peat moss all over their 14x40 Ft run, I keep it topped off at a regular basis, it looks and smells nice all the time! No mud issues and the chickens love to scratch through it, plus it creates a wonderful ongoing compost !

    Running area it is much higher than require you can minimize the expenses if hight will 3 or 4 feet

      If hight will down you can hide it by flower and vegetable garden
      So the looks will not be cheap

    You can ferment your chicken feed too

      We do ferment throughout the winter months when the feed costs are higher 👍🏻

    I just wish I could free range my flocks. That would be optimum.

    Beware of unpainted pictures pipe. It will break easily after being in the weather. Try cattle panels instead
