Pangman's "Poulet Chalet"

[KarynVA]

Hello,
I am considering building a coop for 3 pullets and would prefer one that could be moved as needed; but not necessarily a "tractor" type. The design that has currently caught my eye is found on page 47 of Judy Pangman's "Chicken Coops 45 Building Plans …" Has anyone built this coop? If so, do you have tips or plans that you could share? Or any pics?

My spouse is quite handy with woodworking and has built similar structures. One other question I have about this design is, has anyone attached a run to it in such a way that it is secure (for daytime) but can be detached and ported/ moved separately from the coop itself?

We'd really need to see a pic of this coop...can't google the page number.
Most any smaller coop could be moved with skids added and a vehicle capable of dragging it....or rollers(large PVC pipe) and a few strong people.


Well, wait, here?:

That's it, exactly. I was just coming to post that pic. It is also on the front cover of the book; it's on the left side, just under the words "45 building".

Don't recall seeing that coop built here, but you might browse thru the 'small' and 'tractor' categories here:

As far as moving it and having a portable run, might consider a movable run with a chunnel between that can also be moved. How often, and why, would you want to move it?
