Mobile coops!

[BirdGirl2004]

Who has mobile coops? I love seeing other people's coops, and see things that I can improve on mine! Here's some info on my coop.
The base was an old trailer, but of course you can see we made it into a coop. For the roof, It's a hard clear plastic, so that they get more sunlight during the day (thus more eggs) and creates a greenhouse affect, which makes the coop warmer. My coop is also mobile, so that I can move it anywhere on my property, and let them loose to free range on bugs and other yummy goodies. I can access the nesting boxes from the outside which is always a plus! The roosting bars on the inside are actual branches, which makes them feel like "wild" chickens!! LOL! I still isn't completely done yet, I still have to paint, and fix a couple things up.
Here's some photos. I forgot to add a picture of my window I put in there too...oops.

Good job. You don't have your location on your profile but it looks cold. Where is your ventilation?

My chicken tractor was built from an old goat trailer. We removed the flat top & welded on roof structure, wrapped the metal cage with hardware wire to prevent raccoons from reaching in. The plan was to remove the livestock mats after the girls were bigger & let the poop drop to the ground, but I was still worried about injuries on the metal bar floor. So, I left the heavy mats but covered with linoleum that I can pull out & wash down daily. The wings lower to block wind & rain, but I found it impossible to block all the drafts this winter & we built a winter coop. Nesting box opens from the outside by the trailer tongue. We move it with our 4 wheeler. Original investment of the trailer was $300. I'm not sure how much we spent on the metal & metal roof & hardware wire, 2x4's for ladder/roost. Of course the kennel was the 2nd largest cost. The solar motion light from Costco & linoleum pieces from Lowes mark down area.
