Very cute! Have you considered a 6x10 or 10x10 dog run? With the 6ft. tall pens, the housing could sit inside, and you could run wire as a "roof" for predator protection. Also, you might check out the coop pages (tab option along top) and take a look at runs there

We're using a 10x10x6 dog run kennel and are very happy with it. We reinforced it with hardware cloth 3' up the side and with a 1 foot apron on the ground. Also put hardware cloth across the top. We put wheels under all 4 corners when we want to move it then take the wheels off so it sits flat on the ground again.
