 [[Jacob Springs Farm]] through [[Agronimo]] is developing an open source designed '''Eggmobile''' (mobile henhouse) through the [[agronimo]] initiative to make appropriate-scale farm tech available to all.
 The Eggmobile project consists of three parts which are being developed to work together to create a profitable and replicable [[ Farm programs|farm program]] that others can implement and build upon.

-The Jacob Springs Farm eggmobile should hold approximately 300 hens with room for each one to roost. It should be well ventilated and easy to clean, yet be possible to close up for wintertime shelter when the eggmobile won't be moved much.
+The Jacob Springs Farm eggmobile should hold approximately 500 hens with room for each one to roost. It should be well ventilated and easy to clean, yet be possible to close up for wintertime shelter when the eggmobile won't be moved much.
 The eggmobile should be predator proof and have a working solar-powered chicken door that closed after dark, protecting chickens, and opens at dawn - allowing them to forage.
