How to Move a Giant Chicken Coop!

You can always edit your post

I know, but for those who had already read it, I wanted it to be known I’d made a mistake... I’m not sure if BYC notifies people of edited posts or just new ones??

Well I'm glad you clarified. I did head scratch for a moment over it, but figured you didn't mean it the way it read at first glance.

I think just new ones.

You could go edit the original post too, so anyone reading it for the first time will read it correctly. And then your note is there to clarify for those of us who saw the un-edited form, and because someone already quoted the original form.

I hope that people have enough good will to assume that something which reads oddly was most likely an autocorrect error.

What are the dimensions?

My Little Monitor Coop, which is 4'x4'x4'6", was moved on an ordinary trailer -- the one we use for the lawnmower. It took 6 men to lift it, but didn't require special equipment.

Here's a photo of the coop fitted with the carrying bars:

That’s a great idea! But I think our coop would be too big to do that. And I believe 6 men had to lift it!! I think the dimensions of our coop are roughly 7ft long and 6ft wide. Something like that. It probably weighs around 800 lbs.

That's shed mover territory most likely then. Good luck with it.

Yeah. We’re leaning towards shed movers. We’d probably need like 10 or 12 guys to lift our coop if we were going to do it ourselves.
