The story of the mini coop….
So I had said earlier that I would post about the bargain I got on the little coop. Normally I would never buy something like this. It’s not the best materials around but is decently sturdy. And really only big enough for one full-grown hen, or maybe two bantams. It’s technically a tractor, but the way they did the wheels makes them basically useless. I had to make a few minor modifications, and still want to add one more place for ventilation in the coop part. Here are a few more pics.

When I saw it I couldn’t help but think that it would make a great hospital coop for Sassy, to let her get outside and still keep the other hens from picking on her. And it was. I also thought once she was gone
it would make a great brooder or a way to let the littles outside before they are big enough that they won’t escape through the cattle panels. Which it definitely is.

Now here’s the best part. I probably wouldn’t have given it a second look except there was a sign saying 20% off all coops, and one by this coop that said $145. I noticed the sale sign said it was off the lowest price marked, and thought there was no way I could pass up getting something like that for only $116! When I went to pay for it, it rang up as $145 so I said no it’s supposed to be on sale. They said that was the sale price, that it is normally $170. At which point I showed them where the sale sign said it was off the lowest price marked and that they had it marked $145. Not my fault they were stupid and put the sale price on it. So I got it for the $116.
And that’s the story of the bargain I got on the mini coop.
I fly all the way to England, pick you up, fly back to eastern Canada just for dinner with Kelly? That’s one heck of a flight plan I would have to make. I’m gonna have to decline that offer this time around.
