Mobile Chicken Run
I used treated 2x4's for the bottom and 2x2's for framing. I used metal braces to make it sturdier.
Poultry wire on the inside and welded wire on the outside
Attached the welded wire with galvanized wood srews and 1/8 inch washers...
I took a PVC pipe 4 inches in diameter and 5 ft. long. I was able to cut this in half and make 2 feeders. I wanted to find a way to use my chick feeder. Nifty-Chicken gave me an idea...

It has been Nationwide. With the passing of the Kennedy Patriarch; an era has ended. However, he tried to set in motion legislation that would protect our future for generations to come.
I prefer to see all this coverage of someone who gave himself for public service than all the hype that...
Besides making pesto, I chop it up and put it into ice trays, packed tight. I cover with a little water. When frozen, I put the cubes in a zip lock bag then take a cube out here and there for stews, sauces, or give a bag of cubes to friends. I do this when making pesto too. The cubes store...
I am feeding them Countryside organic feed which has adequate protein. However, I am giving them sunflower seeds which they are not acting too crazy about. I also give them occassional meat scraps. They don't have mites or lice either. I have used DE since I first got them and have been putting...
Thanks Omran! The pine tar seems to be working and I believe they have learned to eat the sunflower seeds today. I do put a suet feeder in their run with cabbage in it and a tub with dirt and grass. They have their grass in their run as well because, it is mobile. They are only 10 weeks old so...
How often do you apply the pine tar for feather picking? I have 10 week old domomiques and they just started this a few days ago. I believe all 4 are doing it to each other. I have provided black oil sunflower seed as well but they haven't seemed to eat it yet. I'm worried about them eating the...
To answer your question Nifty-Chicken, the reducer fits the chick feeder perfectly. I only needed metal straps to attached the feeder to the mobile run. I have moved the run with a four wheeler and by hand and it works great. Thanks for your interest in the feeder. It means alot.
Check out my new feeder that I made all thanks to Nifty-Chicken. (Improved version)
I needed something that I could put in my mobile run and wanted to use the chick's feeder for when they were grown. They don't waste food this way.

Check out my home-made feeder on my page. I got the idea from Nifty-Chicken's Frankenfeeder (at least that is what he calls it). I only have 4 chickens and wanted to re-use their mason jar feeder.
Thank you! I found the energy study very interesting. I have a metal roof on my home as well with no problems. Was just concerned about making the whole coop with it. Perhaps with enough ventilation it shouldn't be a problem.
