Moving chickens to permanent coop

I put them in their coop last night and they hopped on their roosts. This am I opened the door and out they came. Went out at dusk and all six ladies were in the coop. It is small but it will be moved every 2-3 days.
Can you post pictures of it?
Moving every 2-3 days won't necessarily overcome being crowded as the pullets reach POL and the big attitudes arrive.

How big is the actual coop?

6 chickens need 24 square feet in their coop and 60 square feet in their run.

Moving to fresh ground regularly solves the sanitation issues due to lack of run space, but it doesn't solve the social issues that can be caused by crowding.

If you never close the coop door so that they unit can be treated as one, open air style coop (BTW, GREAT ventilation), it's more likely to work. :)
 
Love the big wheels on the tractor.
Would love to see video of it being moved.

Can you move it to a shady area?

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

It's easy to do, and then it's always there!
