Our Chicken Tank (Very Pic Heavy)

[Kansas Prairie]

Great tank! Where'd you find your wheels, and how did you mount them?

Love your tank, if it were mine though I sware I'd make hubby put a trailer tongue and hitch on it and I'd drag it with my tractor or SUV, lol.

Funny you should say that! We have just added two boat crank jacks so that we can more effortlessly move it around! Though my husband wants to somehow or another add a small engine to help propel the tank along! I saw we need to finish trimming, priming and painting the tank first!

The wheels are from Tractor Supply. I will have to have my husband describe how they mounted the wheels when he gets home later today. Sorry, I would not be able to adequately explain that part!

I spent the weekend priming and painting the "Tank"

We still have a lot of work to do, but it is working well!

This weekend we added our nest box area-- just in time since we got our first egg yesterday!!
The addition allows us have a dedicated nest box area with three nesting boxes.

We are wanting to add a covered run to our coop. We would like for it to be moveable, just like the coop. Any suggestions?

In my opinion, I would like to park this baby and make it a permanent structure, but DH has spent so much time and energy making it moveable that he is dead set against it!

Hoping to expand our flock this spring, and we will need more roaming space!

Thanks for any suggestions, ideas, etc!
