    I'm thankful you had the Shenanigans in the background. I have so missed them. They make part of your youtube. I love that you call them that. Please don't give them individual names. And please don't separate them. Could you every now and then let them out so they are following you or next to you when you sit down to video like you did today. Also if you don't want them under the trailer that you live in then put a fence around your RV. Those geese help make the show. I love them.....can you tell

Great idea to be able to just take off the wheels to add to another coop without having to remove the whole assembly. I really think you have thought of everything. Have a Blessed day.

    Cool idea Nate. Only thing that would make it better I think, would be making it out of iron, (I feel that the wood may give out much quicker). If you were a machinist/welder, you probably would have tried that first. I wonder if you know someone that is a machinist/welder? Hmm? Maybe someone on UA-cam.

    @KraemerLife How are your wheels working? I built the same chick-lift DIY solution as you did but my wheels are breaking at the axle point and literally fall off the rim after half a season. I haven't figured out if my wheels need more stability or if the coop is simply too heavy for their capacity.

I would really like you to fix the water situation leading to your basement area where you have the freezers.
