Eggmobile

Jacob Springs Farm is developing an open source designed eggmobile through the agronimo initiative to make appropriate-scale farm tech available to all.

Needs

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 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.

It should be towable and able to get through gates that are 10'-12' wide and 48" high.

The eggmobile should be equipped with a waterer and a feeder enabling it to potentially go for several days without human intervention.

It should contain nesting boxes that are adequate for the chickens within, the eggs should be accessible by a person on the ground outside, but not by raccoons.
