Portable Hen house Plans – Why Go Mobile?

Wake up to the friendly cackle of your feathery little pets and gorge on yummy fresh eggs every morning. If this is your dream, then let’s get you started right away.

Intrigued in chicken tractors (better known as portable chicken coops) but don’t have enough info yet? If that’s your problem, then keep reading for an optimal solution as we tell you all that you ever wanted to know about movable chicken coops.

First off – the most obvious reason for choosing a chicken tractor – mobility. Take your chicken coop literally everywhere. And I do mean anywhere. Planned a weekend getaway to the country? Then fret not over your precious chickens; simply drop them off at a trusty friend’s or a reliable relative’s place and go have a blast on your vacay. Plus these chicken houses cost much less than a stationary coop with a ceramic floor and a gazillion widgets that are part of the parcel.

A movable coop is just a simple house on wheels with an attached run, that can be as small & discreet as dustbin (yes, you can get a plan for one that looks just like a trash can)!!!

The portable coops basically make your life a breeze as caring for the chickens and maintaining the coop becomes a cakewalk.

Whether it’s scorching hot outside or freezing cold – you can easily relocate your chickens to a secure place like a garage.

Do give your gardener a permanent leave when you finalize a portable hen house plan.

Why?

Here’s why. Chickens love to feed on all sorts of grasses and greens that come their way – be it weeds (that you detest but they gluttonize on happily) or the lush lawn grass and especially all the creepy crawlers – worms, bugs and other insects that have hijacked your yard since forever. So just move your portable coop to any area of the backyard/garden that needs trimming and get a trimmer, neater, absolutely pest-free lawn at no extra costs!

(A cool fact – the eggs will be much more delicious if your fowl feed on bugs and worms!)

Plus chicken droppings act as natural fertilizers for your greens making them exuberant; so forget about the synthetic fertilizers and the prevalent pernicious chemicals you were using till date.

A bonus tip – do keep changing the location at frequent intervals to avoid the smell and let nature do its job.

So to sum it up, here a couple of more reasons why you should opt for a portable hen house plan:

• Easy & cheap to build and maintain.

• Cleaning and sanitizing is an absolute duck soup.

• Perfect for houses with limited space.

• Also perfect for first-time farmers and poultry enthusiasts.

• Easier access for children to gather eggs, feed & play with the chickens.

• Saves much more money on pre-mixed market bird food as your fowl majorly feeds on grasses and shrubs.

Just keep in mind to provide sufficient space (minimum 4 feet per hen inside the coop) and ample predator protection (wire mesh on the floor to keep the digging raptorial beasts out) and you’ll have a wonderful hen house of your own in no time.
