Barn Style Mobile Chicken Tractor/Coop..... Finally Done!!! (Pics & Video)

Hey Everyone,

I finally got around to building myself a new coop for my birds.

Thought I would share some pics of my recent creation, it's a 8x4x6 (LxWxH) Barn style tractor, It will be put on wheels if I can, or at least skids.
The idea is for it to be a Spring/Summer time open floored, breeding pen/isolation coop etc.

The Coop area is 4x4x6, the run is the same. I will be putting in an additional pop door on the run so they can get out to free range.

I have other coop projects that I am working on but thought I would share some pics of this one!

Not done yet, but almost!

Looks awesome Jonny!

Looks good, can I steal the concept.

Sure,

Steal away, this is just one of a few revamped ideas I have.

Great Job! That is adorable!!

Love it!

I was a new product that I found, supposed to be better than osb.
3/8" Thickness.

Thanks Tara,


I might just have to build an even better winter coop for them to love!

Nice Jonny!
I would like one 10feet x 20feet!

Put me up for a few days, buy the Materials and I'll build it for you onsite for a negotiated fee!

You have NO idea how tempting that is. You could come and hunt and fish for a few days too!

Maybe you could just sell the plans Jonny? I can build but have a hard time without a hard copy in front of me to copy the angels from.

That has been something that has long since been on my mind.
I am yet to go forth with it but it's a great idea.

Would like to sit down with my friend who is a designer and have her help me make a set of instructions that would be easy to follow.

Terrific!

If you hear noises around your place at 3:00 AM, just ignore.

Can't ignore...

I would volunteer to help if I could hunt and fish too.

No excuse for not having another divine abode for the chooks. All you have to do is pay for materials and cook for two men! LOL

No exploding eggs on the menu though.

Tara

You kidding,

I would be more than happy to help with the cooking.

What ever happened to the days where people got together and helped one another out and the payment was a good hearty home cooked meal??

Ooooh, a barn raising at Coopslave's, I'd come, smiling. Jonny you are a wonderful builder, I can only say "wow". have an awesome day, CynthiaM.

Hey, that's still how we roll around here. Or if all hands are needed to build, the meal is our fantastic local pizza and cold beer.

I'm with Hidden on this one....I would totally buy the plans from you Johnny! This is beautiful btw! Fabulous work!

Finally Finished!!!
