This pen dolly is used to move Polyface style chicken pens (tractors). The width is 4 feet. The tires are 7 1/2″ and the axle is a 1/2″ bolt. The length of the handle should be not more than 6′. The one in the video is 7′ and it was too tall so the wooden board was added. The kink in the handle should be at about 4′ and could be kinked a bit more than is shown in the video. The material used is 1/2″ black iron pipe (used for some gas and fire sprinkler applications) available at most all plumbing supply stores.

The Owl That Ate My Chicken
July 4, 2007. We were awoken by a loud racket. It sounded like a whole flock of crows had taken up roost in the back yard. When we looked out the bedroom window, a large Owl was inside one of the chicken pens. He had killed one of our young roosters and was trying to fly away with it. I had never been so close to an Owl like this before, it was quite large and a bit scary when he started to click his beak at my husband. I sound like a dork but I was truly a little frightened at how powerful and big the Owl was! Poor Rooster
