New member Ned needs a safe coop FAST

Welcome to BYC. Sadly Cornish x are programed to die young. Their growth rapidly outpaces their organs and they die. Sometimes if you limit their feed and make them exercise to get to it (moving feed dishes farther and farther away) you can add a bit of time to their life but not much.
 
I'm so sorry...what a rough introduction to chicken keeping. Try to remember that you did a good thing; Ned would have either starved or (more likely) have had a bad end due to a predator or another car. You did him a kindness by taking him home and caring for him...whatever time he has, it's better than he would have had otherwise. Build your coop, get some chickens to enjoy, time will help.
