What to do with the old coop?

[nikkimay]

We're very close to finishing a new and improved coop, and I'm wondering what we should do with the old one. (it can be seen in the link in my signature)

We built it in our backyard, and it won't fit through the fence, so it will have to be disassembled to get it out of there.

Do you think we could try to sell it on Craigslist - with the stipulation that the buyer had to take it apart and get it out of there?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Get more chickens?

I would keep it in case you need to separate somebody due to injury or you get new chicks that need a place to hang until they can be introduced. Besides it is way cute!

It's your new brooder coop, breeder pen... solitary confinement for bad chickens, place to put new chickens to make certain they are healthy... the list goes on and on

Oh... or get more chickens.

Thanks for all the quick responses.

Our new coop is much bigger (i'll post pictures soon) so we are already thinking of getting more girls.

The reason I didn't want to use the old one anymore is that it isn't very secure - I wouldn't trust it to be predator proof overnight, and it's definitely not rat proof.
