I like the fact that it is mobile and easy to clean

I like the 25 year warranty and still light enough to be mobile. My current coop is built in place

The new bulk feeder. For 6 chickens, this lasted about 6 days, confined, much longer free range days, coop at night and early morning. Made from a 5 gallon bucket, schedule 10, 90 degree bends, cut to allow free flow of feed in front and back, view from front and top

Hard to show the pigtail in images, but. I have used this bend with gasps for many applications. No snap, no rust, can do with gloves with no problems, a critter has to be mighty smart to open it. Works best at around 6" long

Will try pics tomorrow. Dark now. Do not play with YouTube a bunch, is aggravation to me.

Trying again. Nope. Apparently, the extensions used on my LG phone cannot be loaded on this site. Will keep trying

Tried pics and a video, neither apparently are supported on this site. Site must not like LG phones!

A couple years ago, I built what I termed a bear proof coop, that eventually turned into a bachelor pad for one rooster that ruled the yard for a couple of years. Squirrels were his favorite enemy, and he saved me a lot of ammunition. He somehow injured himself and I sent him to that coop in the...

No, I have a rifle for squirrel removal, works just fine.. was wondering why the roosters respond to a squirrel bark

We inherited chicks from grandsons school, or would not have any at all. Now, the roosters are for entertainment purposes, only. We eat very few eggs, buying a dozen, maybe once a month... My coop/run tractor should accommodate 4 hens, and may one day. For now, the entertainment value of the...

I did that in my coop, was simple. I made the feeder and waterer out of pickle buckets, put 2 water cups on one, and piped a fill tube to the outside. The feeder has a 3" hole cut in the side with a schedule 10 90 degree ell with the back cut out for the birds to eat, with a 4 " PVC pipe cut...

If the black snake is a King snake, they do eat other snakes, nice, rodents of all kinds and are about the only reptilian enemy of poisonous snakes. Move the snake to a new location

Well, I have a basically immovable tractor, critters ate one of the roosters, and a neighborhood puppy that got loose, killed the hen, after we got about 3 dozen eggs. That leaves us with 2 roosters, and my wife cannot decide if we want more fowl around the yard. I have not had the to consider...

It made a good frame, but turned out awfully heavy. Hands not idle enough yet. Still have to finish reassembly of my 65 Simplicity, then the Yazoo engine(s), a couple Yazoo frames, another Simplicity, the A Farmall, cut grass in several yards besides mine(donations), entertain a grandson, work a...

We are patiently waiting for that first egg. After a short vacation to the (ugh) beach next week, we are getting some more hens, hopefully getting rid of some roosters by the trip time. The hen is squatting for one of the roosters that lives in the coop with her, but has nothing to do with the...

Well, after a couple of weeks, 2 roosters stay in the old house, one rooster and the hen in the new. I can whistle and call the hen and rooster to the new coop, but the other 2, have to wait til dark to close their gate. The feeder and waterer are working, so I can leave for over a week now...

Decided on adding a piece of 4x4x1/4 steel angle on the coop end, from leg to leg, weld a piece of plate and a trailer hitch in the middle. Will set it on the 65 Simplicity lawnmower I am putting back together, put wheels back on the run end, then move it with the mower, for now. They spent last...

Need to install gate, wheels, waterer and feeder. Still thinking about the engine...

Getting closer. Put the roof on today, chicken wire yesterday. Working on bulk feeder and waterer

Trying again! Still under construction, but working 7-12s, nights. Before I came in today, worked a while on the netting. Chickens were out, and tried it out
