You are more than welcome to go to my website and look. I have pictures of the pens with the birds in them. It might give you more of an idea of how much space they have.
I love these! Have a crazy idea though if anyone knows how to implement. I'd love to combine with something like this http://www.chesapeakecrafts.com/STRAWBERRY_TOWER.php Any thoughts on the sides being like a living roof, maybe tiered planters? I've been trying for 3 years to establish a strawberry pyramid and decided to give up on the spot this last summer. It'd be great if I could combine strawberry and herb pyramids with A frame coops.
Avery,
I can do that, they will be a little heavier, and will definetly have to use more cedar, but this is a great idea.... I will draw it up to make sure what I have in mind will work for you. I am thinking on the enclosed end, add planters starting on the second course (8 inches off the ground) and having 4-5 seperate planters tiered on each side. this will still allow for good ventilation during the summer months and better insulation during the winter months. With each planter being about 10 inches wide and 4 ft long that should give you a great herb, and strawberry or whatever garden with the chicken tractor all in one.

My move got complicated by a break-in and flooding.
Can't take the kids in with me and since I'm with at least one almost 24/7
I get by about once a month to check for new theft/damage and fill up my trunk with a load for the trash.
Every so often I find a few keepsakes or photos I can salvage, but most is a total loss.

I know some wheels would probably be necessary for easy moving, but I see a lot of possibilities. I thought about a water container too for irrigation. I thought about attaching some plastic planters on shelves to the sides. I thought about double layers of plastic lining and hardware cloth shelves for a few tiers with another weed block fabric layer or that new soaker/weed cloth to help hold everything right. I also thought about a pvc frame with the tiers 3" pvc with holes.
I thought maybe about stopping the tiers a tad short for a ventilation run at the peak somehow.....
Lots of ideas here, I just never know where to start. Should be a ready made plastic one already on the market.
I wouldn't be able to afford it though.
