Been through a few rains some very heavy and some light, depending on the angle depends on if it gets wet. But no worries the wife checks her girls after every rain and if the food needs to be cleaned out she is on it.
I did put a perch on the opposite side of the food, and they love it!
Thank for asking if I can ship it out it means I built something well. I wish I could ship one to you but I think it would be very cost prohibitive, the size and weight of the coup would make the shipping cost ridiculous...
Ok based on some very good suggestions I did a couple of modifications to the chicken tractor. Things that I talked with the wife about that she said we could do later and I said why not now! Well now they are done lol!
1) I put a larger feed unit on, to hold 4 times the amount of food...
I have thought of shade, we have shade from the back of the house and on the side of the woodshop. I also thought of using a 10x10 canopy over the coup, if it came to it.
Well it was my first time building a chicken tractor. My oldest son and I built this while she and my daughter were at an archery tournament one weekend. She came home that Sunday night and when she saw it she could not wait to go to the store and get some chickens.
It was an anniversary gift...
Hi all my name is Art, (aka Fuax), Came to this sight for some ideas on a coup as a gift for my wife. Well your posts were very helpful and I built a small coup for her to start with as an anniversary gift. She loves it and now we have 3 hens.
What have I gotten myself into!! lol
I will post...
