- Egg Mobile Build - Have We Designed the Perfect Eggmobile?
When we moved to our new farm we didn't bring our egg mobile with us. So its time to build our 3rd eggmobile and this design is a little different from designs of previous mobile hen houses.
Today we are showing off our latest mobile egg house creation and we call it Eggmobile 3.0. This is a 10x14 structure built on an old trailer frame that we found on marketplace. It was constructed of locally sourced materials including local lumber and scrap from a barn that we tore down about a week ago.
This is similar to Joel Salatin's Egg mobile and Pete from Just a Few Acres Farm design. In short, this may be the perfect egg mobile design (so far).

Hi.... Thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
That's a LOT of nesting boxes. haha
Nice to see Saundra.
Chuck great video, thanks for the visit with Sondra. You were correct we've been missing her, you are a lucky man to have such a hard working lovely young lady to keep you going. Best wishes to both of ya & Jamie also. Blessings. Happy 😊 Easter.
Take care of health!
God bless you.
Another great video!! So looking forward to meeting you and Sandra on 5/22!!
Nice and relaxing on this one, but not slow. Have a good Easter
My goodness that's one very fancy setup. The chickens should be very happy laying eggs now
No roost? Interesting. Please do an update on how that works out.
I’d like to get an update on the No roost as well.
It was so good to see you Saundra!!! I miss y'all fussin and messin at each other! Chuck, I completely understand what you are saying about this time of year being so busy. However, I would highly recommend that you take 30 days to post a video every day. That doesn't mean you have to film one every day, just film a few different things and break them up into different days to post. It will really help increase your subscribers quickly!!
Loved the conversation with Saundra.. so honest and open... have tears in my eyes
Another great video Chuck Thanks for posting I get a lot of ideas from you all
It's always a pleasure to see both of you and I get a kick out of Sandra I love the way she laughs. I really like the coop you guys did a real good job.
Great egg Mobil Chuck I love that you can take the boxes out to wash them great to see James again to this videos backdrop of your farm moving egg mobile was so beautiful 😍
I’m seriously interested in coming on the 15th. Young dad here trying to get in the industry! Amazing channel!
Great looking egg mobile!
Awesome y’all! Spring time is definitely a busy time all the way around here for us too. I run a full time landscape business which is naturally busy in the spring then everything on our farm is wide open as well from new chicks coming in to gardens going in it’s always something for sure. Me an my wife are the same way she goes her way and I go mine. We each have our jobs to do and we get it done. Keep up the good work y’all !
Happy Easter! Love watching your video’s!!
great vid, ty for posting. if i may ask, what is the reasoning/thinking behind no roost for the chickens.
Chuck & Sondra, I always enjoy your videos. I too just moved from Pa. to KY. to start anew kind of like you guys. It's a challenge to know how much product to produce in a certain time span. You get irregular supply or alot of freezers full of product. In your egg tractor are the slats in the floor narrow enough to keep out predators yet possible for chickens to grab onto &roost? Keep on taking things to the next level!! Peace
What is the spacing for the slatted flooring? And thanks for finally letting her grace a video . 🤪
That looks great! Nice work. Do you worry about raccoons or opossums reaching up through the floor and grabbing the chickens' feet?
I got to get to work on my mobile chicken coop. I also need to find some farmer markets to start attending. Just hard to do working a full time job
Great video Chuck. Good to see Sondra!
Glad to see every update ❤
Sun-activated doors is a must, worth every penny spent on them.
Why not use gravity-egg delivery to the outside? No poop on the eggs if they gravity drop to an outside collector. Also, you don't have to move those restriction bars on the boxes twice a day.
What am I missing?
Your right about used tin I put some on 1 of my shops because the road roofing always leaks but the used tin still leaks just as bad waist of time using old tin
Hi chuck. I’m looking to build a bigger and better egg mobile. Is 3.0 working out like you hoped? Would you make any changes? Enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Terry in Nebraska.
Yes it works great. We could keep a lot more birds in it than we do.
Good design. Have you seen Richard Perkins design for a set of automated nest boxes. Perkins is a British farmer in Sweden who does very creative things like you do. Check it out at his TH-cam site under the title Automate Your Egg Mobile.
Divide & Conquer!!!🙃
❤🤍💙✌
is there wire up top between the rafters to keep the coons out?
I noticed that space too and was concerned about coons and opposums. Snakes too...
Jamie said that there’s chicken wire and you can see it when they show you around inside.
@@drewhillfarms That wire is only the underside of the rafters not between the rafters and the steel roof. It would be an annoying job to do it but it should probably be there
Can you explain what you do in the winter time to keep the draft off of them?
It has 4 walls.
So the draft coming up from the floor is not an issue?
I'd get some solar lights run in there on a timer keep em laying year round
Had a thought about moving chickens. Could you build a rectangular box about the same size of the feeders 18" wide 2ft high 6 foot long with a lid on top to put the feed in. . Put hole in side of the brooder so the birds can run in and out of rectangular box. Put feeders in the box to train them to go in and out of the box. Put a handle on the brooder box like the feeders That way when you are ready to move them to the field they are already in a crate ready to move. Have a small trailer the same height of the rectangular box so you just slide the box on the trailer.
Will hay or something else go on the floor? Wondering how the chickens feet will do with the spacing. Awesome video, thanks for sharing watch many of them
They do fine with slats. The point is not to bed them. Better to have the manure drop onto the field.
2 questions, was the floor joists 2x4 or 2x6? And was that treated wood?
There is so much to do at times we need to work on separate things .
Do you have problems with foxes attacking chickens thru the slates in flooring?
You need roosts
Don’t you have to worry about hawks or predators during the day?
I hope a certain hedgehog doesn’t ruin it
WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT PREDATORS AT NIGHT AND HAWKS?
