Next spring, we are hoping to add chickens to our little homestead!
Scott has come up with an amazing idea for a mobile coop we can move around the yard, so the poultry don't tear up all our grass...and so they can forage for bugs! He went to a farm a few weeks ago where they do this successfully with a thousand chickens. Of course, we won't have that many, but we like the idea.
Anyway: Enter our 8 year old deal hound. Over the weekend, Gus spied this awesome trailer/back of a pick-up on the side of the road.
Long, long story short, he got us this sweet, redneck trailer for a total price of $25 and helped Scott tow it back to yard. He loves his Datsun!
Scott is going to build some nesting boxes and figure out how to attach an electric fence,
so, come March we'll be proud parents of a bunch of cute little chicks!
