    NE Ok. Anna White Coop

    This is a slighly modified Anna White a-frame. We used it for a few months while introducing our older chickens to a new group. The sides are hardware cloth. A drop-down door was added to one end so that covered nest boxes could be positioned inside. The base is 8' x 5' and 52" high. The roost...
