"Here's My Biggest
Mobile Chicken Coops Tip!"

In today's note, we'll talk about portable or mobile chicken coops.

There are many reason why you might want to have moveable coops.

Chickens can quickly scour a small area of all grass and other foods very quickly - so they need to be moved often to have fresh food to scratch at.
So they can't get into your garden and other plants and eat them. (When they are cooped up in a mobile coop, they can't do that)
You can quickly and easily fertilize different areas of your yard (chickens are well-known to be great organic fertilizer producers).

One of the easiest ways to make a coop portable is to use 2 x 2, or 1 x 2, framing lumber, instead of larger 2 x 4 lumber. This makes your framing light, but sturdy enough to handle your flock.

Here's a picture showing you the type of lumber pieces I'm talking about:

The most important thing about portable chicken coops is...

it is probably best if you can move it by hand. Some are built to be moved by cars or farm equipment, but unless these are easily accessible, you most likely will never move the coop.

So... easily moveable, by hand, with 1 or 2 people is your best coop plan.

Portable coops also have disadvantages as well. Dr. Larrison talks about disadvantages in his 67 Question interview at www.ChickenNews.com
