Trip to Delhi to get Porta-Huts

We drove down to Delhi top pick up some Port-A-Huts for pigs, goats and chickens. Port-A-Huts are small movable shelters, very light. Yes we would have built something but we wanted to try these! They will last a long time.

We are moving in the direction of pasture-rasing everyone. I am not sure we will go the full route for my layers; I like the comfort a coop gives them (and me!) at night. The farm we visited raised their broilers on pasture, sheltered by a Port-A-Hut of course.

They had about 40 or so pigs around, pasture raised. They raise Tamworth which are very hardy and do very well on pasture.

This farm also works and breeds Suffolk Horses, a light draft horse.

Hi --
I just found your site while looking for info about port-a-huts! Can you tell me where in Delhi you got them? I'm not too far from there, I'm not handy enough to build my own, and think I'd like one for my ducks. Let me know --

hope you can help me. I was driving down a country road recently when I passed a small lot where there were 15-20 roosters and a bunch of metal structures that looked like little A-frame houses (just the roof of such a house). Could these be rooster huts? And why weren't the roosters fighting? Thanks for any insight you can give
