Chicken Drag

Anna on the Kubota pulling the coop and run.

I was repairing one of the chicken coops this weekend and it occurred to me that it was about a year ago that we had all kinds of coyote problems. Those coyotes caused us to build an enclosed run which we have used for the whole year without need of any major repair.

We built those runs out of PVC pipe and did not expect them to hold up as well as they have. A few of the glued joints came apart, but we just ran a deck screw through the pipe to hold it together. We drag these coops each week with the PVC run attached. The chickens are always excited on the weekend when we drag the coop forward a few yards to expose some fresh vegetation.
