Cool coops. Anyone ever design a mobile coop and run?
Living in the deep south (La) we can't use the cute wooden coops. They are so spiffy but hoop coops will work great for us. Just buying 3' tall 1/2" hardware cloth for the bottom edge of the coop will help immensely I used regular 2: x 4" wired fencing for the bottom of mine. Spread it out about 18" flat on the ground around the edges as a skirt. . Our soil is concrete so no digging. I'm putting soil on top of that as a rain barrier.No body implied you were stupid, just stating a fact that hoop buildings are generally not as secure as a traditional wood built coop and don't offer the 2nd line of defense, this is important to many people others are not as concerned with it...
Oh, chickenlover, so sorry to hear that.Had a pretty crazy few months recently, this coop, after serving well for almost three years, burnt down! At night WITH my babies inside! Only lost one to the fire, and I consider myself fortunate for that, my babies and myself had burned throat tissue and lungs, smoke inhalation... but we have a new coop, half the size but much more secure, now their run has much more room, they only sleep in the coop so the small size doesn't bother them, still been pretty crazy though.
Little pallet coop I'm working on for my gf. floor and all siding are made from pallets. Pretty hard work but worth it for free siding and firewood. Gonna put a little red roof on it and put some flour boxes on it.
Just wondering, what is the price on them on CA. I live in La and we are the rice capital of the US (I think). I can't find them. I saw them once at a feed store BEFORE I got chickens.
