No coop for a couple nights?

[carp]

We're moving in a few days, and due to unforeseen circumstances, we may not have a coop for a couple nights (we thought we could move their coop, but it's much heavier than we thought, and we don't have the man power we thought we'd have either).

They are mostly free range, but have an 4 x 8 dog pen that we can lock them up in when necessary (picture below). Any thoughts on if that will be fine for them for a couple of nights? It's not secure against rats and mice at the moment, but the place we're moving to hasn't had problems with rodents. And we don't get snakes or other small predators.


This is from last December. Right now, the pen is open at one part so they can get to their coop, but we have a panel to keep it closed on all sides.

I'd put them in the pen in a garage or something. Raccoons could reach right into that pen and rip the birds through.

Just realized the pen is 4x8. Clearly too big for the garage!

Could you put them inside something inside the pen? Maybe close them in a dog house (ventilated of course).

Actually, we have a big enough garage that's going to be empty for a few days, so we can put them in there! We had been thinking of doing that anyway (we don't know what the larger predator situation in that area is yet).

Now we just have to figure out if we can dismantle the coop to move it and reassemble it, or if we're going to need to buy a whole new coop
