Portable chicken coop? We want to make a fairly large chicken coop but we are struggling with how to attach the wheels so we can luck life them up when we dont need them any ideas?
Chicken Tractor for 25 chickens? I need a plan or a picture of a portable chicken coop that can hold 25 chickens. I told my farm boss it's gonna be hard to find but he isn't listening. Anywho, I don't want a list of sites or magazines I can look in, I've already done that. I need the plans or a picture, not a place to look. I've been looking everywhere, I need some results. Much Thanks.
How should I go about building a portable run for my hens? http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Chicken-Coops/Day-Care-for-Chickens-Mobile-Pen-8-chickens-p673.aspx I really want something like this but it is really expensive so I was wondering how to build a secure one. I want to be lazy and put the run over spots that I want to turn into a vegetable garden. What would be the best way to build this run to put my girls in during the day?
Please help with my dog!!? I have a 1 year old english springer spaniel. we have chickens and when he was about 10 months old he killed 4 of our free range chickens. since then the chickens have been inside of their chicken coop on the other side of our invisible fence. for the most part he respects the invisible fence but know immediately when his shock collar is off (when he killed the chickens his collar was off because it was just after a bath....he knew it was off right away, he is not a dumb dog) so the chickens have been in a portable chicken coop ever since. the coop doesn't have a bottom but is protected on all sides. a few days ago we left the house for about 20 mins and when we came home the chickens were loose and 2 were dead. ever since the dog has been tied up because after he got into the coop we don't know what to do with him. what can i do with him to stop him from killing our chickens without keeping him tied up? (P.S. when he killed the chickens he ran through the invisible fence....guess the chickens were worth the shock he got) I know he is a bird dog and its instinct for him, if i had my choice i would sell the chickens but my dad wont let me
finally introduced chickens but...? We finally got to the point where our original 18 hens and 1 rooster flock and our new batch of 6 chicks are somewhat getting along they were pecked at and attacked as we failed several times to introduce them. finally we decided to let them out of their portable coop we had been keeping them in for a few weeks.they have now been living in the ccop, but they make the older chickens angry because everytime the little ones see the older ones walk by they panic and start flying all over the place.they wont come out of the corner and i think its because they were attacked when they were younger. will they grow out of this or this there a way to break them of this?
