I am making a go at meat birds. My 20 meat bird chicks are due in on June 10th. I need to build a temporary, stationary coop for them. I want to break it down when they are....gone. And I don't want them in with my layers. I can't have a tractor. Any pictures will be helpful!
Thanks everyone!

I don't have pictures to share. Our last batch I used a very simple run. I took two 16" hog panels and cut them in half. I used Zip ties to put them together to make a 8'x8' square. Them I wrapped chicken wire around it and secured that wiht zip ties. Then I took a 12'x10' tarp and secured that with zip ties, leaving one end open so that we coudl get in to feed and water. I hung a brick on eachcorner of the open end to keep it from bloing open and made sure it was slightly lower so that the rain woudl drain. It wasn't the best set up, but worked. For our next batch i plan to build some of these.
