I've been scouring the coop pages for days, looking at everyone's lovely creations, and had bookmarked several designs. I've started framing my coop, and realized I hadn't bookmarked one of the pages I wanted. I've looked and looked and can't find the design. It had a nice plywood map of cutting nest boxes so you could make them from one sheet of plywood. If this is your design or you have one like it, could you let me know? please post the link? I really liked it, and it would work well for me. I'm not the handiest of people so this was a good one for me.

Also, anyone who has attached wheels to your coops...can you tell me how you did it? It you like the wheels? And how would you do it differently? My coop has to be in a utility right of way, its the only place in the yard that works, so I need to be able to move it.

Thanks.................

If you check out my BYC page, you'll see a pic on there of a small coop on wheels. It's sitting on an axle that used to be under a trailer. If you look closely you'll see that the tongue of the trailer prevents the door from opening all the way. We just need to raise it up on blocks to fix that. We like having it on wheels because it's so easy to move around, but we only use that coop for brooding ducklings. It would be difficult to use as a full-time coop, we'd have to fence in all around the bottom to keep them from getting underneath.
