How do you make a chicken run. Building a secure chicken run is just as important as crafting a solid chicken coop. This video will show you how i made a 10 x 10 pvc chicken run for your hens. This is an 8x6 fully enclosed chicken run made primarily of 2x4s.

I would kill myself wandering across the land in darkness even looking for a chicken run that didnt keep moving around. It is easy to do. If a predator can get inside sometimes even reach inside the run you could lose at least half of your flock in a single day.

A run of this size if it is used as the primary daytime habitat for your chickens will be adequate for 4 5 chickens provided you also have an appropriately sized coop. The one you choose in the end depends on how much space you have if your run is already built and your budget. Mine currently houses 3 adult hens.

The disadvantage though is that you need to move the run and as its dark when i leave for work in the morning and dark when i get home theres no time to do so. The existing fence around our vegetable garden was built from 48 wooden posts and 24 14 ga welded wire fence. We chose to use the same fencing for the chicken run with t posts for the additional supports.

Total cost for this project at the time of the video was 16500. There are various ways to fox proof your chicken run. I do love the idea of chickens scratching for their food.
