Quote: Yup 18 inches! It took just about 5 hours to dig out our 2 driveways and down to the barn. Here's our trucks this morning...

I can't tell you how glad I am that I built the coop on a trailer so it's off the ground.

The coop came thru with flying colors during the blizzard yesterday. Everyone stayed in nice and snug. 18 inches of snow! The coop is definitely NOT going anywhere until spring! I had to shovel off the top of the covered run today.

Taken just this morning.

Quote: Our coop is always on the trailer and it's working great. When the chickens got the grass dug out to the bare dirt in the run we just move it. Moves real easy by hand and if I have to go around the house or up the hill, I hook it up to the truck. I left the winch on the trailer just in...

Here's our coop - it's insulated because we are in WI too! And it has an extension cord run thru the wall to be able to have a lamp/heater in it if we need for winter.

I don't know if you'd consider ours a big tractor but I can role it around pretty easy by hand on flat ground and my truck moves it anywhere else.

Here's our EE "Gingersnap"

Before the run was setup: From inside the run: Looking inside:

We call the time we spend watching the chickens 'Farm TV - Chicken Channel". It's all live and never any re-runs. Videos from YouTube below. The Shirley Show The Young Pullets The New Place

Here's a video of one of the BOs. pecking around in the new straw in their coop. Cute clucks and purrs. Enjoy! Farm TV - The Chicken Channel

We put a curtain on the outside of the window. Mainly to keep the sun out so the coop doesn't get so hot inside.

I've always used a couple of spoonfuls of jelly. Caught 9 in a week last year.

You should check out Northern Tool. They've got everything! I got solar lights from them for the pole shed.

Our 5 all spread out except for the 2 BO pullets who scrunch together in the tightest corner they can get into.

I've gpt stick on linoleum tile.

Beautiful blue/green egg.

Ours in Wisconsin barn red and it's fine - plenty of cross-ventilation. And I think the color will help with passive solar heat in our cold Wis. winters.

Here's what I did on the people door of my coop. I'm in NW Wisconsin and I didn't want snow blowing into the coop thru the screen. Plus it'll keep the rain off.
