Haha, did you have them stuffed in the 55 at that size?
Yes, pun intended. Even though they're not turkeys
Lol. Yeah, things were getting quite packed in the tank and I was happy to get them out. They filled up ~65% of the footprint by the time I moved them out. I would have done it sooner, but I kept waiting on their adult feathers to fill in better since we went from 80F nighttime temperatures back down to 42-48F nighttime temps around that time.
That's a real nice looking coop, great job.
One of those would've came in handy when my kids were younger,lol
Thanks. I like how almost everything turned out, except for the wheel mechanism. I kept testing it as I was building it, making sure the wheel setup could handle the weight. Once I finally got the roof on, it was time to move it out towards the field area instead of right by the building. I went about 6' and the wheels splayed in opposite directions and have since only gotten worse. I'm not happy with it, but to make due at the time I simply pulled it on the ground with a tractor. Now I'm moving it daily to fresh grass/clover using pipes slid underneath to roll it. It's not as nice as the wheels should have been, but it's working out and I can pull it by hand. The wheels are still helpful to leverage it up when sliding the pipes in and out.
Ron, That dog of yours always seems to do an excellent job supervising your projects.
Yep, she's always around and trying to help out.
