10 years of Chicken Coops lead to this... Thanks to #TractorSupply Co for sponsoring this video! Check out TSC's site here for more details on their app bit.ly/3jdd3vO
I'm a former city dweller turned organic farmer and I've had chickens for ten years with every coop design imaginable. I think I've finally designed the perfect chicken coop for my needs- it's a SELF CLEANING, mobile chicken coop, predator-proof coop design. It's super efficient, it keeps my chickens safe, makes egg collection easy, and, bonus, it's a tiny version of my existing barn here on the farm! This chicken fortress keeps pests and predators away, is well ventilated, and, best of all, it can be pulled around the farm with my golf cart! Keeping chickens mobile is the best way to take advantage of their "chicken-ness" and use it for the good of the farm. With a mobile coop, chicken food costs stay low because they forage for greens, and bugs on their own. Free range chickens are the happiest, healthiest birds. They turn all those greens and protein into rich, delicious eggs with deep orange yolks. They aerate the soil with their scratching and dusting, keep fly and bug populations down, and fertilize the grass while automatically mowing it! Stationary coops are popular, but they concentrate the chickens in a single area making disease, bad smells, bugs and scorched earth from concentrated manure a lot more prevalent. Rotating the chickens makes our grass healthier, keeps our fly population down, and helps keep our livestock from having parasite problems. Stay tuned for the next portion of the build as I complete the exterior, create a rain collection/automatic watering system, and add side access doors for the egg collection!

I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable." I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break, and build the things I need. 8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
