Default Raising Chickens
If anyone raises backyard chickens, I have started a chicken forum and would appreciate you stopping by and showing off your coop/flock.

http://www.chickenforum.com/

I've been raising them for awhile but recently moved so now I have access to do much more, started a chicken tractor last week.

You can see my build here:

Yep I collect hobbies though chicken raising is more of a job then a hobby or at least that's what my Son says.

We don't have many issues with coyotes. We have bobcats, hawks, eagles are our main predators.

My neighbor built a pen like yours on wheels and moves it every few days to a different part of the yard.
