Thought I would offer here first.
I am building a new coop and will be selling my smaller ones.

It is hard to get pics of the little one I used for 3 bantam cochins due to the foliage in my yard. It comes apart for moving since I did not intend to keep it long term anyway. It has a built in run that is 2' high with a sliding top, Pal roof roofing with a section of clear for lighting, shade tarp on pvc, clean out door, and large window. Coop size with run is about 4x8 with the run going all the way under the coop as well. It sits low to the ground.
I am asking 200 for it.

I have a tall coop that was originally a broody breaker that has been converted to full time coop.
I am asking 100 for it. It does not come apart but we believe it will fit through the gate.
Coop size is 3x8x6.5 with a trap door and ramp. It has 2 huge clean out doors and a metal roof.

Both coops are built with screws not nails. The tall one has 2x4 framing and the short one has 2x2 and 2x4 framing.
 
I'm planning on going to wardel's on Saturday for their chicken swap (I need feed too AGAIN).

I've saved 3 x 50 lbs feed bags... trying to get my bf up to pick up feed in bulk like cochix. Going to the feed store every weekend is getting very old. And I'm expecting new chicks shipped Monday or Tuesday. I'm so anxious and nervous, dreading the possibility of opening the box to find dead chicks.

I was able to source a pregnant new zealand white meat rabbit in a few weeks, and am hoping to find a pregnant California white meat rabbit too very soon to add to my homesteading attempt. If anyone knows where I can get one, let me know please.

I think summer decided to come back for a visit this week, now I have to worry about if my chickens are getting too hot again.

Does anyone have experience with muscovy ducks?
