In the Brooder
Ok so in September we got our cc online coop to house our 11 hens. I got it put together and while doing so my fears were confirmed. Was cheap materials and a lousy layout. Now two months later it is falling apart, too small for my girls, roost bars so low they are sleeping in the nesting box and super drafty. Winter is on its way and I am so worried they will freeze to death.
Delimma is that we have 11 birds but we rent. I have search for kit coops that won't end up being crap as well as building plans and everything I am finding appear it will be a coop that once built can not be moved and since we do not own I need to find something big enough for my girls but light enough to be able to move when we do.
I was think of trying to build one that can be torn down, or perhaps build two smaller ones that share the run or even buy a resin coop for they look fairly light. I am new to chicken keeping and could really use some advice on the best route to go with our situation and pressed time. Thanks for reading and hope one or more of you out there can give me some advice.
