Complete mobile chicken run with nesting boxes. Great for Summer! Move your chickens through the yard without fear from predators. Solid welded wire construction. Three nesting boxes and perches hold up to nine birds at a time. 42" by 96" by 42" high. 2" by 2" welded wire mesh. Comes complete with nesting boxes
Is there a handle to help move this?
Yes , it has a handle with a foam grip behind the nest boxes.
Could this product be used for ducks instead of chickens? How would that work?
The Mobile Chicken Coop could possibly be used for ducks. However, you would need to provide a ramp for the ducks to get up into the next boxes.
How are these shipped?
These are shipped via freight because the boxes are fairly large. They are mostly assembled, coming in 4' panels that you would connect together.
What is the weight of this coop? Do I have to take it apart to move it or does it have wheels?
The spring fling weighs about 200 lbs.
There are ferrel cats in the neighborhood. I am concerned with a cat being able to get in the coop through the gaps at the top and sides. How large are those gaps?
Where the panels meet there is a small opening less then an 2 inches. The wire is 2 x 2 inch squares and that is the largest opening. Cats wouldnt be able to get though an opening that small.
Is this something that can be used year round??? We have the 4 seasons and worry about Winter.
It would not work well in colder climates. The birds would not have any protection from the elements in winter months.
How does this cage stand up to coon invasion?
There is no way for a racoon to get through the wire on this pen. Its a heavy gauge. This is open on the bottom so digging preditors are the biggest threat if its not on something solid.
Do mobile chicken run would include perch? if it would include perch so how many?
Yes, it includes the perch, it's located in front of the nest boxes. Will hold up to 9 birds.
Does the hutch on the Mobile pen open in the back to get the eggs out?
Yes the back of the hutch is on hinges so it swings down for easy egg retrieval and cleaning.
Is that hutch stable perched up there ont he side with the egg boxes? How is it holding on? Would it be wobbly with chickens i there? I could see the chickens spending the night in the egg boxes.
The hutch sits slightly inside the metal bars of the pen. There are screws to attach from the side. It also sits flat on the bars so it is plenty supported. Chickens like to roost to sleep so most likely they would be on the perch.
2 month review Not worth this price tagAfyer using this mobile coop for 2 months, Im sad to say that the nest boxes are leaking when it rains. Im so dissatisfied with this purchase and want a refund. Assembly took about 4 hours by myself. Several of the welds were already separated. The nest box is not as nice and sturdy as described. Nest bixes are made of thin wood and seems very cheap. I'd return this product if I hadn't already assembled it. Love this company but terrible product. Hopefully they will make it right and do a partial refund. Fix these issues for the next customer at the very least.
