Mobile Chicken Coop with Premier 1 Netting

Welcome to the Hicks Homestead where we share our worst mistakes and best wins. Where we cultivate a love for learning as a blue collar family of 4. And where we hope, dare even, to inspire others to dip just one toe into this lifestyle (if you haven't already). Whether you're on the brink of jumping in, still deciding whether or not it's your thing, or a long time vet of this garden growing, animal raising, singing in the rain kind of lifestyle, we welcome you. Thank you for hanging out with us! #chickens #homestead #farm #family #chickencoop

Awesome stuff. I just bought a homestead and looking forward to building my own mobile coop. Good life. I might do short handle so I can drive it while walking backwards.

If we could change 1 thing about it now that we've been using it, it would be to put the handle on the back because it's a tight fit getting the ramp up and down. The short handle idea is great! Good luck with your Homestead! Good life for sure!

What would we do without zip ties. (well actually we used to use baling wire before twine was used on hay bales) Gaps in the coop should work well. I remember my first thought when I was a kid. My parents told me the burning trash barrel was hot, don't touch it. As I reached out to touch it, I was wondering what hot meant. I quickly found out.

Sometimes the most simple fixes are the best. We let her brother touch it while we were with him and that's a lesson that stuck! Sometimes mother nature is the best teacher.
