Our first coop

We decided to get a smaller, kit coop to start with.  We will use it for juvenile chicks, sick home, and to have the ability to move it into the garage if a hurricane or other big storm comes.

We bought a Pawhut deluxe portable backyard chicken coop with fenced run and wheels, paid $200 including shipping for it.  I got it from www.rakuten.com although the prices seem to fluctuate often. 

The coop came in two boxes.

Here are all the pieces that came from the boxes, many screws not labeled but I was able to figure it out by count and logic.

Put the egg box together first.

Then added the walls to the coop.

Put the bottom and some roost bars in, I have an idea to make it a better summer coop but I will get into that later.

Now working on the run.

And then the final results, still have to fix a place to put it.
