Nifty Line Of Portable Coops
 |
Made entirely from powder-coated steel, the Porta-Coop’s metal netting is welded right to the frame. They’re covered with UV-resistant tarp material that keeps things comfortable inside. Explains Miller, “These tarps ensure that inside the coops it feels like being under a shade tree, not a tin roof.”
Each Porta-Coop acts as a permanent home for the flock, with ample room for foraging. Every few days, you can move the coop to give the birds fresh pasture to explore.
Porta-Coops come with human-sized doors that allow you to get inside without stooping over. They are also designed for easy mobility. When you pick up the handle, the coop’s flat-free wheels will automatically move down so you can push it like a wheelbarrow across the pasture.
Porta-Coop sizes range from a 5-hen capacity to models large enough for 60 layers or 90 meat birds. Prices start at around $1,300 but can vary based on shipping requirements. The coops arrive disassembled but are simple enough for one person to put together. “Assembly is a one-person job - there are only about 25 bolts to put in,” says Miller.
You can buy Porta-Coops directly from the company website or through its network of distributors across the United States. The company is looking for new dealers.
