The farm passed a major milestone today. This old travel trailer has been here for at least ten years. It was used as a temporary guest house on occasion, and Oogie stayed in it when she first got here in fall 2000 with the sheep. It was not in great shape – wasps had started to build nests in it, and we had no use for it.
We thought about selling it, but that seemed like too much trouble. The effort to sell it or make it roadworthy was just too much. So, we just left it – until now! Last week, we saw a wanted ad in the local paper for a used travel trailer. They wanted to make it into an eggmobile for chickens on pasture. This seemed like the perfect recycling use to us.
Today, the trailer has been given away and moved off the property. It’ll be turned into a portable egg-laying house for chickens. I hope it makes a great place for them to lay tasty, true free-range eggs, with protection from predators at night.
