I have eight chicks, and I've been looking all over for the right coop for them once they are big enough to go outside. Out of everything I've seen so far, I like these two the best:

I'm not sure if they are big enough, though, even though I will free range during the day. I would obviously have to go back over it with 1/2 inch hardware cloth. I am also worried about burrowing animals such as foxes, raccoons, and weasels. I know you can put hardware cloth on the bottom, or around the edges and bury it, but that would render the coop immovable. Our yard gets really muddy during rain, so I would prefer to have something I can move once a week or so. We do have a fenced in back yard, but there are people who let their dogs run loose in the neighborhood, and we are only a few houses over from the woods. Suggestions??!!
