Finally Built the Chicken Run Add-On! Pre-made Run From Amazon!

So I "stole" the idea of a pre-build run from Valarie Reese (link below). To build with wood and welded wire would have been over $700! But this was less than $350 (with Michelle's discount for working for Amazon) and it wound up being JUST what we needed!

We finally had perfect weather for this project!! The chickies will have so much more room for activities! Lol

Nice run. I'm happy to have inspired you. Steve put a hose over the top of ours so we can easily water our garden. I can't wait to start planting.

I thought the drone view was a good idea. Thanks for not blaming your dad for slicing your thumb😮

I purchased this exact one from Amazon and it's been a nightmare. It came with 250 zip ties and I needed to order a couple hundred more. The door is horrible on mine. I also have a bunch of wire sticking out which can easily hurt the chickens. So now I have to cover all the connections with PVC or something to prevent them from getting cut. My hands are covered in cuts after going in and out of the wire with those zip ties almost 300 times. Great video though!

thank you for showing in detail how it is assembled, I am thinking of getting 2 or 3 of them and connecting them together next to my lanai and have my 10 cats there enjoy outside. How sturdy the frame is to your opinion, how much wind it can withstand? I live in coastal northern Florida.Thank you

Those screws on the outside will hinder you putting the wire on it.

Did yours come with center poles? Perhaps only with the longer version?

birds escaping is not the problem, the problem, is things trying to get themselves some chicken. Everything eats chicken.

How is the run holding up? Has it been worth the $ 300.00 bucks ?

[BackyardFunCountryBoy]

They gave u the short roll of wire they sent me 6 foot

What would've been the shipping/package dimensions for this??

How in hell do people live in a fishbowl like that? If you can see a neighbor, life is pure hell. So few understand. You though, are a cut above, at least you have livestock.

Don't waste money on this Chinese crap. You can build it from wood for less and have a secure 20 year age. this junk weighs 18 pounds. Think about that!
