I will have lunch with my department

I will can the last of the tomatoes I need to can for the next year.

Then my feet and legs will heave a great sigh of relief. After that, who knows? Dance a jig, maybe.

I will try to convince myself to purchase a prefab coop that's (probably) going to stink.
I will spend time with the chickens.
I will journal in Bad News Bantams to organize my thoughts for the next steps.

Don't!

Design and build your own. Make sure it is big enough that you can stand erect inside it. Chickens do a whole lot better with more than the minimum amount of room.

If you need materials, most everywhere has a source for free pallets.

That's the long term plan, but I need an improvement over my current situation ASAP. Otherwise, I may be forced to rehome in the next few weeks.

I managed to trap myself in a corner on this one. Now I'm paying the price.

Edit: In our case, it's a time/zoning issue for building. Or even getting a shed in there. The whole thing's a disaster.

Even one of the cheap sheds from a local lumberyard is a better option than the prefab coops.

100% agree. We own the "best" prefab on the market (in my opinion), but you can't change the footprint if the birds don't get along.

Just putting my failures out there for all to see.
