My soon to be camper coop

[Chicks4MyFamily]

looks like a fun project! We bought a few trailers that were used on construction sites for offices and weather proofed and gutted...they work great!

Part that thing out. Call a local rv sales and tell them you're parting out a 5th wheel and they might give you more than you think you would get. Then you can get material or a ready built shed and still have money for something else.

I have a 8x20' camper here I plan on doing the same thing with. My job is going to be much harder, though. I have to replace most of the floor because of a bad spot in the roof and broken vent cover. It's on wheels and it'll hold all my egg layers. What more could a girl want?!

Awsome. I cant wait to get started on mine. We got the hitch yesterday so hopefully my son will be able to get it home this week. After gutting and fixing things that need to be done my biggest challenge will be where and how to do the roosts. Right now they have ladder type roosts. I would like to do roosts with poop boards under but not sure how to work that. I have 30 chickens to go in there bantam and LF so I know I have room, but the roosting situation I am not sure of as yet. Guess I'll figure that out as I go. Thursday when I get paid I am going to start getting hardware cloth even if I dont have it here yet. Then when its all done I have to tear down the old coop so I can get it where I want to park it. Then to redo the run. My chickens range in the yard but if the weather is bad they stay in their run so I was thinking since it has 2 doors I would put the run at the 2nd door and have the other door for when I let them out in the yard. This winter has been so good that they have had access to the yard all winter. They are lovin it. I also have to build a turkey pen this year as I have turkey eggs in the incubator right now. So I am going to be one busy lady this summer. I already have my meat chicken tractor just about finished. Thank God I have a great hubby that supports my chicken addiction.
