MOBILE CHICKEN COOP: Innovation

Farm Director Jack Algiere and former Rangelands Manager Phil Haynes (now Assistant Livestock Manager at Carversville Farm Foundation) present the design and operation of the custom-built mobile chicken coops that Stone Barns Center uses to produce eggs and steward the pastureland.
Download the CAD drawings at www.stonebarnscenter.org/coops and try building your own mobile coops.

Thank you for the plans! We downloaded them and husband is welder/builder. We're going for it!

[@kevinbowen5999]

Great job guys! We raise 500 chickens on pasture and this by far is the best design for all conditions that I have seen.

After I move my tractor through the pasture I sprinkle daikon radish and winter rye seeds into the Pelosi the chickens leave then emulsify the Pelosi and seeds and inject them into the ground with a needle jet on the garden hose. Works great

I happened to see your video, I really like this chicken model, can take your chicken anywhere

Absolutely love that your running chickens in conjunction with other animals. A cool bonus for running diverse species id that the gut biome of one species will be very proficient at destroying parasites and viruses that live on the other species and vis versa. Here in Australia flys are a constant thorn in the side of all farmers. By running chickens through an area approx 3 days after the cattle have been through, it dramatically decreases the fly load as the chickens will gorge themselves on the fly larvae. Furthermore, as the scratch away at the cow pats, they spread the nutrients all over the place, allowing the soil biome to more quickly do its job of turning those cow pats into beautiful black soil. If i ever have the money to acquire land, i dream of running goats, cattle and chickens all in a rotational regenerative system. Getting three income streams off of 1 piece of land.

I BUILT HUGE PORTABLE CHICKEN COOPS - BUT THE GROUND WAS TOO WET, & THE TIRES TOO SMALL. WE LEARNED AND PLAN ON MORE CHICKES USING LIGHTER, MORE PORTABLE, COUPS THS YEAR. WE WILL USE N.J. GIANTS THIS YEAR.
