The Chickwagon

[thechickwagon]

I live in New Mexico and have built a new backyard urban chicken coop that I would like to share. I co-designed this with Tom D from Pollo Real and a larger model has been used on his farm for 6 years. I hope people will look at my page I created under the chickwagon. I look forward to feedback. I can be contacted at [email protected]. Thanks Frances

can you give some more info? It's hard to see detail with the covers on. Please explain how well it is predator proof.

Thanks,

I tried to put as many photos as I thought would be helpful on my 3 pages. The coop is covered with chicken wire all the way around and the door has a chain latch on it which can be secured even more with a elastic cord. There is 4 inches of wire that is folded under the coop to the inside to discourage digging into the coop. Because the frame and wire are all metal, a predator can't chew, dig, or fight their way in. I will be happy to send you more photos if you would like. Please send me your email address at [email protected].
I am located in Socorro, NM. Thanks for looking at the Chickwagon

It is made of 3/8"rebar welded together, chicken wire and the bottom of the nesting box is 1/2" hardware cloth. The top is 24 mil polywoven material. Don't know how to attach photo's or I would show you. Frances
