    Portable Coop

    Hey ya'll, so I've been kickin' around the idea of managing my flock of chickens and ducks throughout pastures behind my cattle and pigs. I had thought of making an " A" frame portable coop with plywood and 2x4's and fencing the chickens and ducks with electric netting around the coop. What are...

    Hogs

    I'd go to Homesteading today, a lot of people talk about pigs and such. Very helpful site. That's where I go to talk about pigs. Not a lot of talk about em on here, mostly chickens, ducks and such.

    Joel Salatins Egg Mobile

    Has anyone ever done a set up like this? Building a coop with just a roof and a few walls but having electric fence around it? I'm trying to do something new with my chickens and wanting to move em around the pastures and saw a few of Joel's ideas and thought it was pretty neat. I just don't...

    Electric Wires

    For those electric fences like on the website, can you use any electric box for that or do you have to use a specific box charger for it? I like those and I may try em. Can you let the birds free range day and night and not have to lock em up?

    Electric Wires

    I'd like to keep out predators so I'd like to go with the electric. My own cats would sometimes try and catch my ducks. So I want to be able to let my birds roam freely maybe even at night too with an electric fencing.

    Electric Wires

    Sorry Crazytalk, I didn't see your post earlier til now. When we had our chickens roaming with the cattle, a few of em got shocked and ran freaking out like crazy. I'm sure they knew then not to come near it. If it's worth a try on waterfowl i may try it. Would anything badly happen if the ducks...

    Electric Wires

    Sorry I didn't tell you I have that. I have my two geese in there for now. I have my 12 chickens and turkey in the coop, and 13 ducks in the coop as well. I am wanting to separate the ducks since they are all different breeds and I want to breed em to have purebred ducks. I am looking for a way...

    Electric Wires

    Well I mean i want to be able to move em around our pasture. I don't want to fully confine em in one spot. I want to move em behind our cattle to clean up to cow pies and such.
