Need to build coop for one chicken

[Lisa G.]

Hi - I have one chicken who is habitually beat up by several of her former coopmates. I currently have her in a protected cage just outside of the mean girls coop. She is fine being with the chickens out in the run but once in the coop they attack her. So I am looking to build a very small coop for her. Does anyone have any ideas? It needs to be a coop with a run. I don't have a ton of space and don't want to buy a pre-fab coop. Of course I am pining over the Williiams Sonoma coop but wow $$$$$. Please can anyone make suggestions??

Not sure how your set up looks, but maybe a wood dog house would do the trick, and fairly simple to build/cheap to buy. Training her to use it might be another matter, she might still want to go in and get beaten up.
