The New Chicken Coop


The new Mobile Chicken Coop was finished several weeks ago. The chickens can leisurely move about inside or out. The ground cover is a lush blanket of oats, peas, fava beans and vetch, which the ladies (the chickens) eat faster than you can imagine. You can see in the backround picture of Omar holding one of the chickens, how green the ground is that they feed on. The coop can then be easily moved to the next spot. The acreage is fenced off, to keep the critters out. As you can see the southern side of the coop is made to absorb the sun and keep the temperature inside warm and toasty. The eggs need to be collected twice daily, seven days a week. The egg collector is serenaded by a symphony of chicken clucking.
