We'll be moving here shortly, and though the folks who bought our house wanted our coop, I refuse to give them our ladies. So now I'm trying to figure out exactly what the best way to go about moving them with us is.
They're just going to have to deal with tight accommodations for a couple days between closings, but once we get there I'd like to have a very quick and easy way to get them in their own space to reduce the stress on them. As such, I think that a coop kit is the best way to go. Unfortunately, that costs either thousands of dollars, or is nowhere near big enough to hold our five girls. There is a shed on the property, but it's not fenced in and I don't care to cut a hole in the side of the shed and incorporate that for possible resale value in the future. We were planning to put the coop on the south side of the shed, where there's great shade, not so many neighbors that can see, and should work perfectly for not having to tear out too much of the yard.
Does anyone have any ideas for coops that would be able to be built within a day? or a way that we could prebuild parts of it, then just put the final finishing touches on when we get there? We *could* put the ladies in the coop for a day or two, but frankly, I don't care to have them pooping all over it until we get it done, so the quicker the better.
Thanks!
