It wasn't hard, but my only worry is putting it back together! We're picking up the pieces today.

All the more reason to have more chickens!

I do have a question about the free coop I got- should I get new plywood walls or just keep the old ones?

How do they look?
Are that painted or ruined from the weather?

Are the walls double thickness now ? If you possibly are thinking about insulation, now would be the time to do it. Not sure about your climate extremes. Depending on what type of floor you have, my recommendation is to lay a piece of vinyl flooring, does not need to be new, as this will make it so much easier to clean. Then you add whatever type of bedding you have available. You can even go up the sides part way with the vinyl if you happen to have some available,especially behind your roost area. I would also suggest a good durable paint inside as to make it easier to clean and disinfect as needed. But you need to have the paint odor gone before you get chicks.
