I am calling done, at least till July when I have time to finish it off. This is my gypsy wagon chicken tractor (Minus the run). I can move it around by hand but it is heavy so I added a hitch. The chickens seem to like it. I still need to add a window, gingerbread, wheels, etc., but I think it looks good.

So, I will be done tomorrow with my tractor/coop. At least done for now I still will be messing around with it for months, windows, gadgets etc. I weld up a retractable trailer hitch. I can move it around, but it is a little heavy heavy to go up hills with. These pictures are from before I started painting and trimming it out, but I wanted to post them before I posted the final product. I actually moved the chickens in tonight.

Our box gardens are finally in, and planted. The building of the gardens by this weekend was a big goal for me, and I was really happy to see them planted. This is really our first big sqft garden. As such, traditionally this is the year we learn what we are doing wrong, what not to do, and how to royally mess things up. I hope lessons will not be too painful. I think foraging has spoiled me. I am used to just walking out with a bag harvesting what the season provides. This gardening thing is a lot of work.
I Thought I would pull together all the photos of the build.

I put the chicks out under the pear tree for the day.

Today’s walk not finding much yet. It is a new woods, and I have not had time to learn it yet.
