My municipality recently allowed backyard chickens, we can now have up to 5 hens. I am an avid gardener. I garden on multiple 4x10 ft raised beds. I use cover crops and other standard methods for maintaining soil fertility but is is hard to beat manure. I am looking for some sort of system / coop-run combo structure that will allow me to use chickens as a rotation through my beds. I am thinking of some sort of A-frame type design that I can move from garden bed to garden bed over the winter with a deep litter type thing going on. During the warm season the same coop/run could live in a singular space (not on the garden beds), again with deep litter. Feasible? Experiences? Other approaches?
