This little car is the greatest hauler!! I just acquired these 4 Rhode Island Red hens, from a neighbor, who had too many chickens. Now, they are coming to live with my other 12 hens. The first day here, the egg count jumped to 10 in one day!! Now, to find a marketing gimmick, to sell these eggs. Maybe a gingham envelope to tuck the egg carton into, might work. There is also a website for custom designed cartons, so will check that out. The "girls" had been cruising in the garden, til they moved all the mulch out from around the fruit trees, then I had to cage them back up again. Soon the angora goats and guard dogs will be back in the garden area, so if the chickens are let out during the day, they have a forest to hunt, dig and peck in, for worms. They really are happier "girls" when they can be out and about and the egg count goes up dramatically. We don't have any roosters anymore, as I got tired of carrying the pitch fork around with me, for protection from him. These girls have a cute, lavender with white trim, house to live in. I can't insulate it with the foam I was contemplating on using, as it is stacked up outside the coop and they keep pecking at it and eating it. So, if put inside, it would quickly look like Swiss cheese!

Ok, hauling chickens in a mini beats out my hauling donkeys in a jeep!
