My granddaughter's little black cochin was being picked by the other hens, so we decided to build her a tractor/coop of her own. It was finished today, about 6 days too late... a racoon killed the hen last Saturday,
( .....we don't like racoons around here!!!....
But at least, the other hens will like the new coop. It's build like Fort Knox.. NOTHING will get into it!
The coop is a combination of a bunch of coops posted online. Keep in mind, I am in no way a carpenter. Things are a little crooked here and there, but it's sound.
I did decide one thing while building it, Florida can be crazy hot in September!! especially when you're trying to build a chicken coop.
Here's pics of the finished coop;
