We have now completed our third chicken coop. The first two were conceived and built while we were living in Arizona - the first was an enormous construction that was impossible to move once finished and the second was too light and flimsy and eventually broken into by one of the huskies, with dire results. While the first was truly a work of art, its design proved too over-engineered for our current requirements.
This third model is a hybrid, built for pasture feeding and sturdy enough that it shouldn't prove a lure for foxes or raccoons. It's mobile and will likely be all we need, as the chicks get older and we begin to thin them out there will be plenty of room for a dozen fully grown birds. In 3-4 months time I'll build a small laying box attachment that we can afix to the rear.
We have now begun the quest for a general contractor to begin work on our cheese facility!
