In the Brooder
Originally I had intended to diy some kind of moveable coop when we were ready to get chickens. But my mother has offered to buy us one for Christmas (we can pick it out) and I hate to turn down a good offer. Problem is, I have no idea where to buy one or which is any good.
We are a family of 3 (soon to be 4) on 10 acres, so I was thinking of getting about 20-25 chicks and expecting 5-10 hens. Anyone have recommendations on store-bought coops that can be moved around? For safety's sake, I intend to let them forage within electric fencing which will be moved every week or so.
Thanks so much for helping a newbie!
Edit: Forgot to mention we are in Canada and it gets fairly cold in our area... a few days of -40 cold. So we'd probably need to insulate anything we buy.
