I am trying to get an old Cotten Trailer for my 67 grown chickens. So far haven't found one ...
Hey do you have an old swing set? I saw someone on here make it into a coop with chicken tractor. Have you looked in your local ads in the paper? Craigslist? (be careful with craigslist though lots of scams going on I hear) What is your budget? One thing we did was call around to stores and looked on craigslist for free wood pallets, we used those as our frame and then just got plywood and nailed it onto the pallets... bottom, top and sides. We got our paint for free from our local recycling center. Also you might contact contractors in your area sometimes they have wood scraps that are still good.
