I've always wanted to get a few to put in our cow lot for the calves to use. I might go back and get a few more for that purpose yet.

I'm so jealous! I've been wanted one (or a few) of those for awhile now. Where we live in CA they just aren't common and tend to be very expensive to purchase new.

Katy, where do you live in Kansas? I may have to come introduce myself to your neighbors.

I want goats and more chickens and these look awesome and have so much potential. Gonna keep my eye out for some, thanks for the idea

I live in central Kansas about 4 1/2 hours SW of KC.

Well I did drive to Lawrence to get silkies and frizzles and that felt like a 4.5 hr trip, lol.

calf hutches can sometimes be found at farm auctions if you live in the country. otherwise they can be bought new. they're not cheap either way!

i like to use mine as a sort of daytime tractor. the hen stays in one spot for a day or two, then i shove the hutch over a few feet and she has new ground for the next day or two. our ground is lumpy, though.

What could a person expect to pay new and used at an auction?
