I need Plans but not just any I need azkaban prison plans for a coop.

Alright so we have officially outgrown our house and a person from church is selling almost six acres of wooded land and is willing to sell it to us cheap for only $65,000. we went to see it today and it is absolutely amazing the views are beautiful, it has a stream and a huge deposit of bedrock toward the back so us kids can climb on and play or just to find a quiet place to read or work. it has huge trees and we are seriously considering buying it. we would have to build a house so it would be a year or so before we could move in but it is great. it has an abundant supply of wildlife and this is were we have a problem. in the hour we were there we saw deer,turtles,a snake, and a fox. now you can see my problem I need coop plans but not just any plans I need plans for an azkaban prison plans for a coop. nothing gets in nothing gets out and my chickens stay safe from hungry foxes or snakes or what ever else hides behind it's serene beauty. so basically I am asking for coop plans but they just have to be a fortress so to speak.

thanks in advance

Crazychicken.

We are in a similar situation and this is what my husband built. I don't have plans, but there is a step by step series of photos that shows him building it on my BYC page:

It sounds just wonderful, how lucky for you to have a chance at this! It sounds like you will have plenty of time to get those plans secured...the coop AND your house! Good Luck in resettling your family & birds!

Wow I like yours.

yes I love it if we move out of the city I can finally have more chickens. and I can hatch more with out my dad staring at a calendar saying only 8 weeks until we have to get rid of them

but of course it is all up to mom and dad but I have my fingers crossed

Same situation, same state... But I actually had to finally shoot the problem(s) shot 3 coyotes 2 months ago... Where in NC are you going to be located??

We are currently about 30-45 minutes from Raleigh and the land we are looking at is about an hour from Raleigh.

It sounds beautiful and hope you get it but I am just scratching my head figuring out why land prices are so different across the states? I bought 3 acres with a 2200 square foot house, barn, storage shed, attached garage, etc here in MN 3 years ago for <80K. I am sure that that wooded land is going to be awesome though. My view is corn fields or soybean fields

As far as your predator problem, learn to hunt and trap. Wildlife needs to be managed. then build as strong of a defense as you can.

No kidding about prices of land, here we looked at 10 acres of land for 1.2 million. INSANE... and no it isnt pretty here. It's ugly no trees no grass nothing... just dirt.

What city/town in NC do you live in now?? What is the city/town that you are planning to move to??

The new land sounds like a great place. Just read all the "Coop and Run" threads and you will get plenty of suggestions for making you coop and run predator-proof!!! Also read the "Predator" threads for keeping your cihickens safe!!

Good Luck!!

maybe a four foot across gorge that is 4-5 feet deep all the way around with a drawbridge that can be pulled down or up so us people can cross.
