Just in time for winter,
oh, well, at least it's done!
I had a couple of kennel panels left over, so I clamped a couple of 2x4's at the base and added gate wheels at each corner. Then, 2x4 wire at both ends.
Had a small screen door that I cut down and hinged it to open upward.
I was so jazzed to have got it done, that I took pictures before hanging the waterer, feeder and the three 5-gal bucket nests.
Here it is:
Little Brownie, the Speckled Sussex I got from PurpleChicken and Drumstick, was the first (of course!
) to check out the new contraption. Yona (Iowa Blues) is on the left, MillieMe (Light Brown Leghorn), is on the right, and Buffy is in the background with Goldie, her sister (both BO), just partially further back:
Here is a shot of how I plan to get them into the tractor. I'm letting them check it out today.
The plan is to get them in, roll them out to a fresh spot in the yard, and have them go at it for a few hours then bring them back in. I'm hoping the weather holds out for a few more weeks and they can enjoy it before winter sets in...
