The Old Folks Home

Has anybody seen the chalet chicken coop -or own one? Do you like it? Also called a wheelbarrow chicken coop. It has handles like a wheel barrow to push around. It is very heavy, made of good wood. Not the cheap soft wood that is so often used. This is my chickens new palace. They much preferred there beat up old hut at first but are starting to get used to their new palace. The run will be covered with a tarp/board for weather protection

It looks like a nice tractor coop!

Do you move it much?

I move it every day, not that it's all pooped up but I think it's better for the grass if it doesn't get matted down, also to prevent bald spots in the yard. I let the chickens out in the mornings and evenings and when I'm working outside.

It's made by some Mennonites and is very strong and heavy. They also used rubber coated fence to keep it from rusting. I'm just wanting to add a window to the door

I like the window in the door. The Mennonites have the same reputation
being able to build solid whatever ..
Out here they are shoddy made pieces of junk saying they can take 6 birds not even 4 banty could live in them

I hate seeing them penned up to much. But everyone around here has a dog and they walk them along the back lane rght beside our house. All the neighbor dogs, most german shepherds, have seen the chickens and anyone could escape and get to the chickens when they aren't penned

We hit 32 this morn. Knew it was coming DW and kids picked rest of pumpkins before dark. I completely forgot to cover our tomatoes . Not a big deal DW canned and froze tons already but I was still going to cover them. When I got home from work looking over the devastation of dead plants in our garden, pretty funny, most everything dead, have a few really huge Georgia collard greens right in the middle of where we had turkeys last yr lots of pumpkins plants all dead, those collard greens looked tropical all green huge leaves in the middle of dead, frost didn't hurt them at all. Looked like three foot tall palm trees
