Build This Predator-Proof, Portable Chicken Coop for Your Backyard
We've come up with several portable chicken coop designs over the years. Our newest plan has been created with urban flock-keepers in mind, so it's sturdy against predators and also comes in two designs and colors for those urban chickenists who want to make a fashionable appearance in their neighborhood. This portable coop is easy enough for anyone to put together and is light enough to be moved easily, so getting your chickens to new grass is a quick chore before or after work.
I can hear those happy clucks now. |
