Portable coop? Is this so you can bring them to SCA events and other
places when you won't be home?

Actually, a co-worker here raises chickens at home. The portable coop
has a pair of wheels on it. It allows him to move the coop around so
the chickens eat the bugs and fertilize different parts of the yard.

Ah! Something useful to do with a zucchini plant!
