Chicken coop.....Kit

I'd think you could reinforce it and add a set of wheels.

That would make it a "chicken tractor"....LOL....the first time I heard that all sorts of visions ran through my head....seen a couple and a heck of an idea.
Friend uses one to clear his garden, till and furtilize all at the same time, moves a 8 X 8 square about every 2 months.....

So far no chickens yet, but I was told the 3-4 is what the plan is......

I suggest 5, then later cull if needed. I have never bought chickens without getting a rooster. And, everytime someone gives me chickens, there is a rooster in there, and they didn't know it. Plus, you never know if one will die suddenly.

Off topic, yesterday my youngest chick started laying finally. We are averaging 8-9 eggs a day (I have 11 hens). We are swimming in eggs right now.
