Greets Permies!

I built this easily movable portable coop six years ago as a test and it has been performing perfectly.
Never lost a single bird to a predator, and one person can move it easily without needing any kind of vehicle.

I had so many comments on this project that I finally found the time to do a full build tutorial.
Hope it inspires someone to build something!

Glad to answer any questions.



Cheers!
Brad from Gillies, Ontario

Inspiring work, the best system I've seen for a one man show.  However I'm curious about your predators; are raccoons,  possums and weasels not prevalent in your part of Canada?
