I am going to go with, if you need that contraption, you don’t need chickens.

Or... you could just buy 10 chicks for every "orb" you think you might need at tractor supply and such for the same price...

I’ve seen chicken tractors, but not an orb.

No thanks.

That's pretty funny. My wife won't let me have chickens but it would be funny to watch the chickens roam around in their mobile jail cells.

A suit of armour for chickens.

About as stupid an idea for chickens that I've ever seen if you have more than one or two.

No thanks. Plus, easy pickings for a daytime prowling coon.

Be hilarious to see a coon pushing that orb back to it’s den to eat in private

Another “looks good on paper” idea…

I would like to see the process of sticking all the chickens in those things every morning and then getting them out every evening so they can roost. I bet it's fun watching them try to figure out the pecking order as well.

I feel its more for the suburban chicken folks that only have a few.
Gwinnett only allows 3+- and hens only, depending on the lot size. Allows them green grass, exercise, and easy to catch to put back up.
It is expensive though, they got all 5 stars on the 8 reviews though.

Chicken saddles. There's all kinds of products people use for, on or around their city chickens that country folk just laugh at or scratch their heads trying to understand it.

Reminds me of when the boy had a hamster. We would put it in the plastic ball and that hamster would run all over the house.

Or a hawk land on it and reach in there and seize ol' Flossy by the head and rip it off through the hole.
