Meat chicken coop/run advice

[Mama-bear]

hello all! We're current chicken owners of 7 laying hens who have a nice coop in a very large fenced area on our property.
We're looking to raise a batch of 20 Cornish meat crosses come June but need advice on a coop. A tractor is not an option, but I'm thinking of a collapsible option? Maybe an A frame that can collapse down? I also would like to be able to stand in it while I clean (I'm thinking a sand floor I can scoop daily) and also would love to brood them in there too. Anyone have any thing like this?! Tall order I know. But any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you!!

Welcome to BYC.
Search for hoop coops.
I'll run and look for a link to one and be right back to post it here.

are the hoop coops able to be disassemble when not in use? If we only useit for 2 batches a year.

They are not pop up tents, but I would think they could be taking down way quicker and easier that a full built coop

Thank you both for your input

No but they can easily be moved around the yard or pasture.
