Question on Broiler Housing

Quote:
The wood is 1x6"s but it is rough-cut, so it is a true 1"x 6".It's not that heavy,I move it each day just 8 feet,enough to get it on fresh ground.The wheels are a big help. On the door end I have handles that I grab to pull it by hand.When i feed I move it first,then I don't have to walk in manure.Just make sure you think about that when you decide where to put your door.If I need to move it far I use a tractor.

Here's what I built recently for the 25 Cross X on their way.

Brooder - way overbuilt with the hardware cloth and it was too expensive as well. Next time I'll use 1" chicken wire.

Here's the hoop tractor I built today from 3 cattle panels, 2x4s, and chicken wire (oh and lots of zip ties. I love zip ties)
