Well since I am waiting on Speedway to send my parts, my wife has been on me for a chicken coop. Someone gave me this homemade trailer and said, "I hope you can put it to good use." It looks to be a 20s bed and half a frame bent to make a trailer. I think a model A straight axle and wheels. I am sure I will be corrected. I have enough junk laying around that I think I can pull this off.
As you can tell it is pretty rough. Perfect for a ratrod chicken coop.
There is a huge plan for this thing but as most my projects it will be unfinished so I guess we will see just how far I will get.
I started with setting our nesting bin in the front, done. Next I made a cage that the cats can't get into. Chill, I have not made the upper part yet so don't tell me the cats can still get in. It needs to be mobile so I plan to make a pulley that will lift the cage just enough to move the trailer around and then put the cage back down.
The plan is to use this old sign for the shed roof.
Got to figure out something to use for the front, so it will turn on 3 wheels.
Well that's it for now. Not much to look at. So feel free to chime in on some ideas. I mean really how bad could this be, it's chickens!!!
