Not too far from Keystone
I am wanting to make a tractor/mobile coop, but I can't decide how exactly I would like it to look. I have thought about one looking like a gypsy wagon (saw a pic of one online), or one that mimics our home, or one that looks like a victorian house. Anybody else have some really unique ideas of how one could look, pics are a plus too if you have any.

Here's mine. It is small but works great as a grow up pen.

Here's ours. It is easy to move and has held up well in the two worst wind storms that I have ever seen. We use portable electric fence around it. The nest boxes and feeders hang on the wall.

You could paint it Tudor colours Black & White.... or paint it white all over then stencil in growing Ivy over it.... the ideas are endless...good luck!
 
So I have a main coop, that is around 8' x 10', that I am fencing in their own yard for this coop next to the garden that will also be fenced in and they will have occasional access to when I want them to work the garden over. However, I have 26 chicks and 12 more on the way. I have them in two different brooders and I am not sure I will have enough room in the main coop that came with our house (we bought this house from hubby parents and coop hasn't been used in years) so I am thinking of adding a second coop that is a tractor coop for overflow or for a separate breed (I have bantams, Ameracauna (sp), & Barred Rock). So I am trying to think of something that is kind of artistic, pretty, moveable, and yet functional.
