    Mobile Chicken Coop

    thanks for the positive comments :thumbsup I forgot to mention the eaves. I have hardware cloth on one side and will block off the other with wood. I wondered about the high roost, I will keep an eye out on that one. I am thinking about adding one to the front open area. I am also still...

    Mobile Chicken Coop

    I wanted to share a mobile chicken coop my husband and I put together. We found the trailer pretty cheap (a used harbor freight one that we found locally). We repurposed as much as we could find around the house, including the paint, but we did have to purchase some 2x4s to finish it. I...

    Identify this tractor supply mystery

    Thanks for the responses. Looks like I need to find him a home. I am not good at picking the straight run chicks in hopes of getting hens. This makes 4 roos out of the 7 I picked. Lesson learned!!

    Barn coop with run outside

    Thanks for the lock info. The current latch is temp. I am researching something that can be opened from both sides. I also want to add a spring to pull the door closed.

    Barn coop with run outside

    I am finally finished with the run. I let the chicks I picked up from the Tractor Supply menu and polish chicks I purchased from a private seller roam around. Next, I will be putting in the chicken door and complete the roost. 😁

    Hello everyone, I wanted to share my coop build with those who like to see new things. If you have any advice please share, I am still learning. :) First off, I created a post 2 years ago introducing myself with my coop build ideas. See old post HERE. However, I had to put it on hold and now...
