The separate but adjacent coop is an internet ordered kitset which I have put on to a home made mobile base. The wheels come from a cheap hand truck and seem to handle the uneven ground pretty well.
The chicken run is still awaiting some suitable wheels, and also some modifications to make it easier to get to the feed trough. Once finished, we will be able to move the hens around free range style without them being picked off by circling hawks or harassed by cats or possums.
One other complication is that three out of four of the hens seem to be off the lay so at this stage they are just well fed pets.
