Posting a youtube link about a 27mph wind that damaged my coop and killed a layer 2 days ago.

Not sure where to post this, but this is probably the right forum. I welcome comments and suggestions. We moved to our home in October of 2018 and are re-using a metal coop we inherited in the backyard. We were not ready to have chickens when they were given to us last October 2020.

That’s terrible, I’m sorry that happened!

I guess it’s obvious you will need a new coop. If you buy that style again, I recommend tying it down with mobile home anchors and rachet straps. I deal with strong winds a lot and that method has worked for me. It is probably more cost effective than buying a heavy coop, but that is another option.

Yikes!
Kudos for making a meal out of the chicken loss.
Were you able to get the metal shed back in place?

Yes, the metal should be no problem to get back in shape. Might look a bit damaged but that is "character"
