Plans or instructions for a small inexpensive chicken coop?
Marisa asked:
I live in florida in a suburban neighborhood so it needs to be relatively small i do have a large yard with an 8 foot fence so as long as its shorter than that i’ll be fine. I only have 3 white cochin bantam ****** and might only keep two so it really needs to be small I just really am keeping them for pets and stuff. I do have woods a block behind my house so predators are definitely a threat. Anything helps!!!

Before my daughter went mad and the number swelled to ridiculous we had a cage made with a triangle at each end and rectangular sides and base. Covered it with bird wire and no base. If it is too heavy you can put wheels on one end. We used to just shift it around the yard so that they didn’t kill the grass and always had fresh grass to eat. One end needs to be closed in a bit to provide shade and a nesting box is essential.
