The run would be easy to move just split it at the middle of the door after taking the door off then down the middle to the coop. Easy patching to put togheter all straight cuts with lots of space to attach splices.

Then youd have two halves of a run that would be four feet wide by ten feet long and they would nest together.... the whole thing would fit in the back of a pickup with a flag.

Just some enabling here....

Listening to the rain here and am sooo glad I got the Roof on the Guinea coop put back on today. (it blew off two days ago)

The run is good for a 5 foot person ! Or maybe you can get the kids to clean it out ! Otherwise it is a nice construction.

Phage, if you're interested in the coop and not the run I'll take the run. Yes flower, perfect for a kid! LOL! I asked my kids who wants the bantam pen and got a taker from my little girl. Yep! Her job will be to rake the run.

Easy to raise up a foot when you move it..... Just put in taller legs and run wood or hardware cloth around the base. It would just leave you a one foot sill to step over at the door.

I have a HUGE favor to ask of anyone in Ramona;

I found some chain-link and gates last night on craigslist at about 11 pm, I called the lady and talked to her and told her I would pick them up today.

Then this morning my BF told me he needs me to pick up materials and do deliveries all day today and there is NO way I will be able to make it there at our arranged time of 4:15...

Would anyone please be able to get the materials and pay her and then I could meet you tomorrow afternoon for pick up and reimbursement?

Please let me know, I'll be on my cell phone 619-647-1138, call or text.

THANK YOU!

Good job for Emily ! Cinderella was much more spunky and worthy than Snow White. After all Snow White was dumb enough to eat a poisoned apple from an evil woman.

Perchie yes I know that you can elevate it. After all it does need to taken apart to be moved. All of my little coops are 4 X 4 elevated on a matching table to make them waste high for easy access.

I'm home and broken from a weekend's worth of drainage battles with my paddocks... I'm also solo with my little guy today. If you don't get a better offer, let me know and I can probably go over with the open trailer.

Do you know if she has good access? (I am a crappy backer-upper.) Is it a ton of stuff?

Hi Everyone,
I've been reading and reading posts trying to get an answer to something and thought I'd come by here and see what you think!

A friend just called. She has a 6 yr. old hen that has a bright red comb, appears very bright eyed, eats, but can't stand. The hen lays
on her side, kicking her feet. I'm thinking a vitamin deficiency. Anyone experience this with their chickens?

Maybe you can just go put a deposit on them for her. I was down there this morning. Wanted to mention that Economizers has a ton of used gates and panels if you need an odd size to finish up a project.
