Hey all! I know a lot of you guys and gals are really ingenious when it comes to designing and building your own chicken coops, but have any of you tried or would recommend any of the pre-fab or coop kits? I've built a small 8 x 4 run with a small 'rabbit hutch' that I put my 8 little chicks in at night, until I can decide what to attempt to build or buy. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations (in the positive or negative) about a company called CCONLY. They're products do seem to look really nice and are reasonably priced (I think they're manufactured in China). It took me a long time to build my 8 x 4 chicken wire covered enclosure (with door) and I'm not sure I have the time or the stamina to attempt to build anything bigger. I work fulltime, live on a 10 acre acreage and am especially attracted to the 'movable' coops. Once they're big enough, I can't let my girls run free (though I'd sure love to) due to too many kitties and dogs that might take a liking to them. I'd also really like to be able to move them around the yard to give them a change of scenery, as well as do wonders for our lawn. Any ideas or recommendations? Thanks!
