Chicken dinner details

Last
year I struggled a bit
when it was time to catch a chicken for processing. The coop was 10
feet long and about 5 feet wide, which gave them plenty of room to
scurry away from me.
This year we decided to
convert one
of our old chicken tractors into a holding coop in an attempt to
make it easier on me and the chickens.
The white barrier wall is
made from a couple of chicken feed sacks turned inside out. It's a very
sturdy material that's easy to work with at a price that's hard to
beat.
