I have been scouring the internet for prefab coops and runs to accommodate 10 standards and 4 bantams. I am not handy nor have I ever built anything, so I am not interested in plans.
A couple of considerations are:
1. I am in HOT Texas
2. I am thinking I need 1/4" hardware cloth as opposed to 1/2" to really try and keep critters out
3. Mobile - can be moved around the yard
4. I would like a tall, walk-in, long run... maybe 10-12 feet in length
5. Would fiberglass would stand up to the harsh elements better than wood?
I have researched
CC-Only (http://www.cconlystore.com/CC-32-R2-CC-32-R2.htm),
Chicken Condos by Cove Products (http://www.chickencondos.com/4-x-6-classic-barn-chicken-coop.html),
My Pet Chicken (http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Chicken-Coops/Fiberglass-5x8-Coop-20-Chickens-p1609.aspx),
EGGstreme Coops (http://www.eggstremecoops.com/chicken_coop-traditional.shtml),
Better Chicken Coops (http://www.betterchickencoops.com/q48.php)
Any recommendations????
Thank you so much for any input!
