    You do an AMAZING job with your coop! I’m so impressed! And with a full time job and family. I’m a new sub. Good luck to you🙌🏽

    Your coop is amazing. I’m a city boy who doesn’t remember the last time I saw a live chicken 😂 but I’m obsessed with these videos.
    Your mobile coop just might be my new favorite thing.
    I hope you keep making videos, as time permits of course.
    Be well!

    I noticed your North Carolina hat. I’m from Salisbury halfway between Charlotte and Greensboro near I-85. What are are you in? Looks pretty flat there. Love seeing young people living the country lifestyle. Great videos. God bless you and your family.

    Overall a great system!
    Not being critical, maybe helpful hints:
    Possible modifications. Help with nest box-> change so the side folds down, stationary top, keeps leaks down. I know it will take more material.
    Windows-> chicken wire keeps chickens in, but isn't predator proof, hardware cloth change out if/when u can.
    Roosts-> is there a way u can hang where u can lift out/off so u can get urself all the way back to clean off floors cross members?.
    I had open floor in my coop, not as nice as urs & my coop was on sled runners, so not as easy to move. If it gets way way cold, u can throw something on the floor to block wind -- anything from cardboard to straw.

    Hello my friend. I am following you from Turkey. Since I do not know a foreign language, I cannot fully understand what you are saying. Even if that's why you said it, I might have missed it. Can you write the dimensions of the caravan from outside to outside, length, width and height in meters? Also, is there electricity in the fences? How many volts of electricity are applied, if any?
    I will be very happy if you answer these questions. I wish you a good day with your chickens.

    Change the 2x4’s to round stock ..... better for their feet. In nature, limbs are round, not square 😉

      it's actually better for chickens to keep their feet flat, and their bodies can keep their feet warm that way too :)

    Fantastic but I need a better idea for their feet. I agree with another commenter drop down nest box they do not like things coming at them overhead. Maybe some rope wrapped nesting bars for sleeping. Oh man we are so doing something like this for our next project. Thank you.

    If you move the chooks more often, you’ll most likely find that the feed barrel lasts even longer.

    Put your water tank inside the chicken tracktor. It'll be lest likely to freeze in the winter.
