When mobile helps
Mobile coops can support pasture rotation and flexible placement when the site, ground and flock routine allow regular movement.
When stationary works better
A fixed coop may simplify utilities, predator protection, access and winter management. Plan drainage and a durable run around the permanent location.
Questions to answer
How often will the coop move? Can it be cleaned and secured easily? Is the ground suitable for wheels or skids? Choose around the routine you can maintain.
