We couldn’t figure out where we could safely put the chickens, until I remembered the old stock trailer parked by our driveway. This made an adequate summer chicken coop, since it provided both shade and ventilation, as well as protection from predators. After their initial bewilderment, the three chickens relaxed enough to lay three eggs while they were here. They certainly had a lot more room than if we had kept them in the crate in the garage, which was our backup plan.
