Hi all!
How lucky are you guys! You get to spend...I mean "help" me spend my money on a new chicken coop!!! A little back ground on the Girls-I have 13 chickens, one of whom is a rooster. They are a mixed dual purpose flock made up of Production Reds, Barnevelders, a Welsummer, an Asil, Russian Orloffs and an Ameraucana.
I copied a partial post I wrote from this morning over on the Cheese Head thread:
[Second-I had a hen pen escapee! Minnie the RO was out of the hen pen. I picked her up and stuck her back into the pen and will have to watch today and check them tonight. It's the first time someone has gotten out of their habitat.....hmmmm...]
So, On that note, it's time to get a "proper" coop! I was going to build one, but that would end in a divorce and possible murder, so what to you guys think of these? I need a coop to hold atleast 12 hens (the rooster will be gone soon) and one that will be good in cold (- numbers) weather. It will not be out in the weather but inside the roofed three sided car port where I have access to electricity. I am looking at coops that I can place next to my Hen Pen/Yard so The Girls will have access to their pen should they want to venture outside. I like a mobile coop idea for future pasturing and I was going to order it as a kit. Do y'all have any ideas or any other places for me to check out? I've been searching for a coop and to find one that holds 12 or more hens that does not break the bank is tough!!!

#3) Then there is this one- the CC32 mobile chicken coop (pretty but I think it might be to hard/to big for the Girls to heat):
