Introducing - The Quackin' Wagon.

A month ago this was just an idea in my head that I was trying to figure out how to build (I couldn't find any plans that had everything I wanted).

-It had to be light enough to be mobile so we can move it once a week- that's why it's built out of 1x4s instead of 2x4s.

-It had to be strong enough to hold snow during the winter. It's at least strong enough to hold me crawling on top of the peak to attach the smaller rafters.

-I needed easy access to get inside in case they lay eggs outside of the nest box (as ducks love to do).

-It needed to be as predator proof as possible.

-Finally, it had to be replicable and nice to look at as I plan on building mobile coops this winter to sell in the spring.

All of the exterior wood- the sides, fascia, and nest box are made from a tree we took down on our property a few years ago.

Huuuge amount of eggs this week now that this year's hens are in full production! Eggs this week will be $4/dozen to help us move them all.

Now that our younger hens are producing more, we will be selling our 18 month old hens. If you or anyone you know would be interested, they are $15 each. We have barred rocks, black s*x links, white leghorns, silver laced wyandottes, ameraucanas, and isa browns.

Send us a message or email at [email protected] if interested!

The ducks still don't know to go inside each night, but at least they're much easier to herd than chickens.
