As if there weren't enough coop questions...

Looks like a cost effective solution. Way better built than a little pre-fab coop half the size. It says it has a wood floor...deck paint? For a dig/chew proof foundation. I used 1'X1' cement pavers (like $.88 ea on sale). leveled the ground real well, added leveling sand (sandbox sand) smoothed it with a 2X4. It turns out just like a concrete pad. Treated 2X4 base. I know nothing about wintering chickens other than to finally turn off the fan! I sure hope your move goes smoothly. Lots of folks had great ideas here. I'm trolling, as we're moving fairly soon and I'm already worrying.
ETA: Kennel panels retain their value quite well, more so than a specialized chicken yard. Your idea could be a dog run for resale too.
Good points all, Mutt Farm. One of the other reasons I like mine so well is because if - and that's a BIG if - we ever got rid of our chickens I have a ready made shed for tools and an attached greenhouse frame all ready to go!
