We are feeling very lucky and blessed to have one of @eddsmoveablechooksheds latest creations. After first seeing them a few years ago, owning one of these beauties has been on the to do list for quite a while.

Five years ago, we lost our designer flock of rainbow layers that we’d created by cross breeding Araucanas and Barnvelders – Araucana’s for egg colour and temperament, and Barnvelder for size, health, and stamina. They laid beautiful large spotty green eggs. A fox decimated them all.

Now we are rebuilding our flock, it became super important to ensure their safety whilst allowing them to still free range. We thought about a Royal Rooster or an Eglu Omlet chicken tractor, but because of the big size of our pasture those solutions just didn’t make sense.

So we now have an Edd’s moveable chicken tractor with 50m electric netting and solar energizer, to deter any foxes that come near to our free ranging ladies, and also keep our chicken friends in the orchard and off the veggie patch and verandah!

So far, the tractor seems very well made, solid, and tows well! The droppings fall right through, so we are all looking forward to no more mucking out of the chook shed on weekends! The wire certainly gives us a zap so hopefully it gives any cheeky foxes a zap too!

Our shopping list for a chook shed included: fox proof, moveable, cool in summer, clean egg collection, mesh floor, easy clean. You answered all our needs. Can’t wait to see what the chook family think of it!⠀
