Any Mobile Stagecoach coop owners?

I'd love to see photos of your coop when it's done. It sounds like it will provide me with ideas for renovations on mine.
 
I'm currently working on mine. I'm about 80% complete at this point. I ordered the plans a couple of years ago but didn't do anything with them until just a few months ago. I'm working on it in my spare time so it's taking a little longer. I'll post pics when it's complete.
 
I have seen pics of the stage coach & I understand what it is you speak of...

I think you may have 2 other options.

#1) there is a wall where the chickens roost at night that faces the end of the coach where the feeder is....
now I'm not a woodworker by any stretch of the imagination but can you build some kind of a pan to go under the birds into that wall??
putting it here, you would not have to deal with the wire or the cover.

#2) vinyl flooring. where the chickens roost at night, why not consider vinyl flooring? it does not have to be glued down(lest you prefer it that way), and it's easy to clean because as long as you keep up with the birds, nothing will stick to it like it will stick to wood.
The vinyl can be removed every time you clean, hosed down, and then after it dries, put back in.

Again, these are just some ideas I was thinking about. I have a full size permanent chicken coop that does not move & I have 2 layers of vinyl in there with the birds. Clean up for me is a piece of cake(so to speak). I have 75 birds that I take care of & spoil rotten.
 
Nice. I like it!!

is that PVC pipe I see?? Seems like that would be the way to go, but then I could be wrong.

The coop I have, I hired someone to build for me, because I am NOT a woodworker by any stretch of the imagination, & would surely mess it up if I tried to build myself.

We had such a hot summer here I quit working on mine, but have resumed and am practically finished now. The only thing left to do now is to relocate the wheels so it is better balanced for easier movement. I built mine with an easily removable nest box so all I have to do is to pop the nest box off and hose the whole nesting area down. It's painted with several coats of exterior paint and rinses off easily. These are unique and well thought out tractors but there is a lot of work involved in bringing it to completion.
 
Know that this is an old thread....but I just saw the Mobile today and I think that they have incorporated a LOT of good ideas...or maybe this is a different one?

A LOT of good ideas incorporated, and I see that they have come up with solutions to some of the problems.

Coop and run integrated are so convenient for chicken owner..... Right now I'm using a cattle=panel coop with a snapLock inside it... I would love to have the automatic waterer and feeder --

Don't know anything about the coop but here is a cheap feeder. 5 gallon bucket with two 90degree elbows cut so they are a1/2 inch off the bottom of the bucket it works great and holds about a month's worth of food for me.
