Should I buy it??

Okay. I have a 5x10 trailer and I’m going tomorrow to try and get it. If we can get it secure, it’s mine. Thanks for the input! Will update after we get it home(or not).

Could prove to be an "interesting" adventure. Good luck!

Yikes!!
Does your trailer have sides on it?
Got about 6-8 guys to lift it?
Best of cLuck!!

It does have sides, and I have 5 people coming along to help!

See if they'll knock down the price to compensate a little for the cost of moving, but that is a nice coop. I built mine out of scrap wood and recycled materials, and while I didn't spend much for materials (around $250), I spent a fortune in blood, sweat, and tears! If you can save yourself time, you will come out waaaay ahead!

Let us know what you decide!

Hope they are strong, both the trailer sides and the friends.

If it ends up being too big to move easily, could you take the top and sides off the coop and put it back together at your house? I had an old dilapidated coop on my property that was pretty big--I thought about fixing it up, but there were so many things I didn't like about it, and I want that spot for the coop that I will ultimately be getting, so I offered it for free on Craigslist, and some people dismantled it and put it in the back of a pick up truck. It was 8 ft x 16 ft.

Thanks for the ideas guys! Sadly, it was just too big for my trailer whatever way we put it and my budget doesn’t allow for any room to hire a flatbed truck.

Well dang that is a bummer.


How long do you have before you need a coop?
