One of my chicken houses is called the Ark of the Covenant; because it can be picked up by two persons; it has handles projecting from both ends like a litter used to move an injured person. In your case, two long boards that are removeabe, held by brackets on either side, would allow you to pick it up, move it, remove the boards to access your side door. Much larger diameter wheels could ease the transit over bumpy rocky soil, too.
I have built the justin rhodes chickshaw which is essentially a cage on wheels, I let the chickens out within a 50meter electric fence which does keep the chickens in on most days. It's supposedly also keeping predators out but they are mostly active at night and my automated chicken door keeps the chickens safe in the mobile coop. It did cost a bit of money to build but I've been very happy with it. The chickens lay inside the coop, in two old cat litter boxes.
Hey Scarlett, maybe just staple some hardware cloth on the bottom of the coop. It won't help with the uneven ground, but it will keep critters out if the ground creates gaps when you set it down.
Great idea for the volunteer Thursdays. Not too many hours of work for them but very helpful for you. Love Momo and glad the others have accepted her. Your vege garden looks great considering it is on rocky ground. Did you put in a lot of compost and organic material onto the beds? We are also on water tank and it is very annoying when something happens and you lose your water.
you doing a kind job, and I don't understand how we categorized other animals as harmful for the enviroment when humans are the most dangerous species.

good idea! i decided to put them in a bigger permanent coop for now. hoping I will be able to free range them later.

When I first saw the video title I didn't realise that you had numbered the episodes, I thought you had acquired 39 cats!
Haha, well you never know... I might become that crazy cat lady one day. ;) But 39 cats would definitely be a threat to our bird population!
Amazing your imaginations n efforts are wonderful. You are enlightened with by our creator.keep it up

the problem with this is that the chickens then can't scratch around.

thanks! I put down about 5 cm of compost and a little bit of manure. Will top up now that the summer crop is almost over.
