Definitely an open coop--more like a pen. Heavy duty chain link kennels work, but you have to be wary of birds sticking their heads out and ending up as dinner to some predator or other. Robert Kennedy Sr makes excellent pens that are bolt together 4'x6' panels of 1x1 wire welded to 1" square steel tubing.

I've been working the last few days, and then DS managed to get a concussion at school yesterday, so totally behind! DS is pretty much better today, still a little sleepy on and off.
