I'm needing a new coop for a small separate flock. With my main flock I was able to do a conversion building - and had my dad to help me out. I'm not quite so handy as he is so can't build a whole coop by myself. I don't necessarily need it to be a prebuilt "coop" but do need a prebuild building of some sort that only needs minor adjustments (adding perches, nesting boxes, etc...) I don't really want to buy one of those from TSC because they are often tiny and have major predator protection issues. I also need it to be relatively cheap. I can do some adjustments for predator protections, but if I don't have to I'd rather not, or at least keep it minimal.
Also should add I need it to be movable.
If it helps here are some of the predators I need to protect from:
Racoon, coyotes, minks, hawk, owl, eagle, fox, (technically we have bears, but they aren't that common, plus I imagine if a bear wants my chickens no amount of hardware cloth or whatnot will stop them.), rat, possum, weasel, skunk? (not actually sure), also potentially some neighbors dogs.
Also, 1/4" or 1/2" hardware cloth?
Do any of these look like they'd be okay? (Would add ventilation.) Do they look predator proof? (If I add a good lock on the door?)

Would like it to hold ~8 chickens
Recommendations to make a movable run?
Thanks in advance.
