Check Craigslist people give chickens and coops away occasionally. Might look for wood shipping crates also, they can be picked up on the cheap.

My idiot brother in law had one and it looked decent. 3 walls with a door on the 4th. About 4 ft wide Shelves on both sides and a sliding door to let them out. Can't have cost much in lumber. But if it were me, I saw at an ag conference dude had built one in a horse trailer so he could move it around. I'll see if I can find some pictures. |

Here is a decent link FWIW.
https://www.backyardchickens.com/art...en-coop.64268/ The one I saw had racks welded on the side for fence panels that he could set up whereever he moved it to. |

This. But if you simply must have them, I'd suggest you also look at fencing as well. The hillbilly next door decided she just had to have them and they soon started disappearing. Of course she accused every person in the area with dogs which then caused some hard feelings. I told her it was coyotes, but did she believe me? Nooooooo. Finally, the county mounties were involved and it got ugly. At least their fenced in coop is on the far side of their house now.

Make it look like the Eiffel Tower, because that would really be cool. Or maybe the Taj Mahal if you can make curved stuff.

Watch out for foxes. And lynx. And bobcats. And weasels. And fishers. And neighbors’ dogs.

Grandpa told me once that he was going to catch this damn badger eating his chickens. So he stayed up, watching his chickens. Here it comes. He's going to get it! Grabs a shovel. Now this man, could flat run a shovel. They didn't really have much for power equipment where he started. Believe me. He could get the hell after it with a shovel. So he's armed and he's going to kill this son of a bitch. **** yeah! Badger starts to dig. He runs out there and starts digging. This badger is gaining on him so damn fast, he just runs and grabs a gas can, dumps it down the hole and closes the hole. He wasn't a guy that took defeat lightly, but he had to take an L on that deal. |

Oh, I like that. With carved likenesses of Foghorn Leghorn, Chicken Little, that Kellogg's Corn Flakes chicken, and ... some other famous chicken.
