All my standard size chickens live in a 32 x 40 foot barn with attached run and free range most evenings. I plan on building a portable / movable coop for my bantams which are my Cochin's, silkies, frizzles, etc.

While searching the Internet i ran across this coop.

I really like the looks of it! The site doesn't give a detailed description of the dimensions. I know I would want the double sided run areas as shown but wonder if it would need to be moved in two sections.

I would want each run to be 4 x 8 foot, the coop itself would be 4 x 8. So we're looking at this monster of a coop being about 24 foot long! Would it even be possible to move it by hand? Maybe take two people to move it. I need ideas on this please. Maybe it would have to be moved in three sections!

I found a place where I can buy pine 2 x 4's for only $1.67 each so now I'm itching to build this,

Would it be better to build it and leave it in a location and never move it?
