Are you wanting to to build a chicken coop and need some ideas for your build? Here is our egg Mobile chicken coop built on a utility trailer. With this egg Mobile design you can catch the rain water off of the top of the chicken coop so that you don’t have to haul water and you also can move it very easily with it being built on a trailer. You can also move this chicken coop around so that you can rotational graze your chickens. The other great thing about this mobile eggmobile chicken coop is that if you ever move to a new homestead then you can take your chicken coop with you. This truly is a chicken coop dream design.

Great work!

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you!

[@goliath200us]

Great ideas!

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you!

[@sampfotenhauer536]

Brilliant! I’m in the middle of building one for my birds now.

[@terryjohnson6392]

That's a great idea I enjoy all of your content. Keep up the great job.

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you so much Terry!!

[@baddogcreative]

Love your coop! Good stuff man!

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you!!! I appreciate the compliment

[@backyard_buddies]

Wow I love this Coop. Nice Job ☺️

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you!

@@tannerfarmstead most welcome ❤️❤️

[@rodneywelch3556]

We used some leftover linoleum to protect the walls. Easy clean with a garden hose when you wash down the bottom screen!❤

[@bow.9496]

Great idea. A couple of questions: 1. How do you secure it for when storms/high winds hit? 2. Do you do anything to help with heat in the winter? A. For the chickens. B. For the water barrel.

[@bitterclinger70]

I am the unfortunate guy stuck in the city here but I have 35 chickens and a great coop but I like this idea if I can ever get me a place for it. Great info, thanks

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thank you!!

[@JJWICKER]

I really like this idea for a mobile coop. 2 questions. What is the cost to build? Why is electric fence still needed?

[@tannerfarmstead]

Around $3K. The electric fence keeps them contained into a paddock. The coop just houses them at night

[@KenyaCoffee1]

We built this and it is nice. We haven’t yet had the birds lay in the Nesting box.

[@tedbastwock3810]

This looks good, some new stuff here, thanks for sharing. Im looking to build a 300 layer coop, so Im searching around for ideas. I agree with you that roosting them up relieves stress compared to floor roosts when mr foxy prowls around. I learned this hard way after mimicking JR. p.s. but I dont like the electric netting, I dont even use mine anymore 🙂

[@RickStewart1776]

Hey Ted, I am just looking to get into electric netting. I'm only going to have about 20 layers on my 1 acre and move them around weekly. Why is it you are no longer using electric netting?

[@tedbastwock3810]

@@RickStewart1776 Good question. The netting is a real pain in the neck to move. I wanted to love it. Idk how many I even have now, more than a dozen of all different sizes and configurations. With twenty hens in a yard type setting you might do well with it. Thats how I started. If you move it a little at a time rather than all at once it is easier, but you will need to do it more frequently. The main issue for me is that I have, unfortunately, found electric netting completely unsuitable for a pasture setting. In pasture it is difficult (time consuming, expensive) to keep the vegetation down off the netting for the majority of the year where I live. It might be different if you use herbicide, but Im not going to do that, it defeats the purpose and causes more harm than good. The fast growing veg will eat up the energizers. I have changed internal parts in multiple energizers multiple times bc they are not designed to handle what I gave them. I still have a small number of yard hens in netting, but I dont move them so I am not bothered by it, someone else is doing it. In my pasture with my larger flock I now simply let them go wherever they want (i.e. no netting around them), move their mobile coop around regularly, lock them up at night, and have a dog living with them. HTH, best luck

[@RickStewart1776]

@@tedbastwock3810 Thank you for responding. This is kind of the answer I assumed I'd be getting, but I wanted to confirm before I bought some. TY.

[@cazsantics525]

Genius

[@user-yt7fp1ld5b]

Great ideas! Look forward to seeing more. One question. Do the chickens have any trouble with the floor of the coopm

[@tannerfarmstead]

Not at all

[@therealjetblack]

Have you had any issue with the expanded metal grate flooring on their feet?

[@tannerfarmstead]

I have not. Had it in in their old coop as well. Works great. It does have to be 1 inch metal mesh for the manure to fall through

[@brettpayton6286]

Curious what you use to keep water from getting full of moss an alge or even warm during hott summer months

[@tannerfarmstead]

We use it so quickly that it doesn’t sit in there for long periods of time

[@codingdesk3637]

Just bought the plans! Curious how many chickens this can comfortably hold? I am on 5 acres in Florida for context. I’ll be picking up about 50 hens and 20 roosters from my uncle soon and would like to build this if it is applicable.

[@tannerfarmstead]

70 is absolutely max. I think 50-60 is a more comfortable number

[@thehogslogs8631]

What do you do to winterize this coop?

[@tannerfarmstead]

We don’t winterize. We keep the exact same

[@susanw4535]

I bought these plans, but can’t read the dimensions or send the pre build video to my contractor. Any suggestions?

[@tannerfarmstead]

Are you viewing the document with the items needed and the measurements? Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@samanthawiktorowski7325]

I would like to buy your coop plans but my trailer is 5 x 8 and I'm not sure your plans and amounts for supplies would work for me. Do you have a plan for a 5 x 8 trailer?

[@tannerfarmstead]

Yes the plans will work for your 5x8

[@alyssamarsh6517]

What size trailer did you build this on? In the winter, without a covered or enclosed run, do your chickens still venture outside or stay in the open air coop all winter?

[@tannerfarmstead]

5x8 trailer. I don’t cha he anhrnjnf on it during winter but we also have pretty mild winters here in zone 7B in Arkansas

[@tannerfarmstead]

Change anything on it **

[@kath0000]

I wanted to see the nests in the nesting box. (I’m not building one, I’m just curious.) Love your farm.

[@tannerfarmstead]

Thanks for compliment! Here is a link to the nesting box so you can see more of what it looks like. hengear.com/?ref=dirk_tanner

[@samantharicherson9780]

What size trailer did you use?

[@marcushennings9513]

As long as there is a vehicle available to move it, it's pretty much up to the builder. I was gonna convert a old 7x10 pop up to include a rabbit hutch.

[@samantharicherson9780]

@@marcushennings9513 see I got one already pretty sure its 5'×10' the connector is different not triangle like his just a str8 line to the hitch but I think I can make it work just dont wanna buy plans if it's a different size ya know

$35, GET REAL

Bill - post a link to your plans. I’d love to see them ! I’m sure they are amazing
