What you are about to see is built purposely so that all panels can be moved to a new location for a more permanent chicken coop/run.
This entire design was partly my idea, but mostly thought through by my dad who isn't pictured. Without dad...and my son...none of this would have been possible as quickly as it happened.
Thanks to my dad and my son for helping on this. They did most of the framing while I was either gone working on another house or was sick.

Notice the roof is new!! Painting, new windows and a new door are next. My grandpa would be proud to see the old shed/kennel getting a face lift.

North and East ends fully enclosed with 14mils plastic. Actually, two layers folded of 3.5 mill plastic. Top folded layer over-laps bottom folded layer. Still have to close in the soffit and paint.

Notice the ventilation hole...can be rolled up to 2ft. if needed...near floor of coop/run.

Notice the roof has a ridge vent, soffit is open for the time being, and roof of coop/run is open to the underside of gabled overhang of the old dog kennel.

Here you can see where I plan to make a door for storage items and I've temporarily covered the dog entry hole to keep the birds out too. Also, in this corner is where I plan to build an elevated and enclosed coop/box for roosting at night where I'll build some sort of poop board under a roosting bar with sweet PDZ for easy cleaning...I hope.
