Who we are
Moveable Chicken Coop is a Charlotte, North Carolina store that sells one thing: chicken coops that move. Chicken tractors, coops on wheels, portable runs. Nothing else.
That focus is the whole point. A general farm or pet retailer carries mobile coops as one filter among twenty, and the listings show it — a photograph, a hen count, and not much else. We only stock coops that move, so we know what matters in one and what to ask before it goes on the site.
Why coops that move
The ground under a fixed coop and run does one thing: it goes bare, then packed, then muddy. The droppings concentrate in one square of yard instead of spreading across it, and the grass under it does not come back on its own.
Moving the coop fixes that without any work beyond the move itself. The hens get a fresh patch, the old patch gets a rest, and the manure ends up spread thin across ground that wants it. That is the whole idea, and it is why the wheels and the handle are the two parts of a coop we care most about.
Longer version of the argument, if you want it: Why move a chicken coop at all?
How we choose what we sell
Six things we look at before a coop goes in the catalog:
- The wheels and the handle. Diameter, count, solid or pneumatic, and what you actually grip. A 4-inch hard plastic wheel will not cross a pasture, so we publish the number rather than describing it as "easy to move".
- The floor. Open to grass, part-open, or solid. This decides what the coop is: a wheeled coop with a solid floor is a coop on wheels rather than a chicken tractor, and we label it that way.
- Hen capacity that survives arithmetic. We work from about 4 sq ft of coop and 8–10 sq ft of run per standard hen . Where our sizing differs from the rating, we show the math and give you our number.
- The hardware. Wire gauge, mesh size, latch type and count, roof material. Facts rather than adjectives — no coop is predator-proof, so we publish what the parts are and let you judge them.
- What assembly really involves. How many people, how long, and whether power tools help. If it's a three-hour, two-person Saturday, that belongs on the page before you pay.
- A shipping window we can stand behind. A coop we can't give you a delivery estimate for is a coop we shouldn't be selling.

What you get here
- The Mobility Spec on every coop. Wheels, handle, ground clearance, floor, terrain and whether one person can move it. No other coop store we've found publishes these at all.
- Capacity with the arithmetic shown, not a number in a bullet point.
- Sizing help before you order. Tell us your flock size and the space you have and we'll tell you which coop fits — including when the answer is a smaller one.
- A person to email or call. One inbox and one phone line, answered by someone who can read a spec sheet.
