Hello! We decided to move to a farm to get more birds and animals! We currently have 6 hens and the new house does not have a coop. Our current coop is hand built and cannot be disassembled or moved.
Has anyone does this? Or what should we do in the meantime of building a new coop? Any ideas...

I know. I am just working on some points for my one neighbor.. the coop would be over 50 yards away from her yard and there are trees as well.. we also habe a ton of natural noises from a marsh. So i just am trying to state my case haha

thanks!
