Purple Pullet Palace--small rolling coop with covered run

It is great for showing how to design a good home for chicken. The design was great, the instructions are easy to understand and implement. Though people like me might lack the gadgets we will always find a way to improvise.

Don't get me wrong. This is a gorgeous tractor. BUT the 1st--and to me--most important purpose of any build is to protect the chickens it houses. 2 x 2 framing does not do that. It will not survive a determined racoon let alone a coyote or a pack of neighborhood dogs. Beef up the lumber and this becomes a much safer build for your chicks while still being gorgeous.

JMO, having once lost an entire flock to coyotes and feral dogs. Believe me you don't ever want to endure that!
