    I think my portable coop is #1... it is an old 16' Winnebago, The utilities drop down door in back makes a great ramp and I have it fenced off inside so I have a chicken-proof storage area- WORKS GREAT and looks retro too!

    I very much would like plans for the little red chicken tractor. I am not too skilled with tools and need something for the chicks I want to get. Greater self sufficiency seems very important these days. I would so appreciate the help the plans would offer. Thanks much. I will pass along the info and multiply the good.
