So glad this brought back happy memories. My grandmother had a large chicken coop in rural Pennsylvania (near the Poconos) and I remember loving to go in to collect eggs. That was the first time I'd even seen double yolked eggs. I have no idea what kinds of chickens she had but I do have great memories. I kinda feel like this little minifarm is a tribute to her.

Very nice! Growing up in rural WA the chickens had the run of the garden from fall harvest till spring planting. My brother and I had the fun of sheep dogs shooing them back to the coop each evening. Good weed control and fertilization, but they took awhile to readjust to coop life. Your chicken tractor is more manageable! No chickens now in SoCal but still have the worms and veggies 🙂 Thanks for the post and refreshing some fond memories.
