Dog versus chicken!! Stop it before it happens to you!
What happens here
Construct a durable and portable mobile chicken coop designed to comfortably house approximately 30 birds. The frame is built using 4-inch PVC drain pipe, connected with T-joints and elbows at the corners. The sides of the coop are covered with chicken wire, securely fastened with screws and washers. The roof is made from silver tin panels, chosen for its reflective properties to prevent overheating inside the coop by bouncing sunlight away. The finished coop should be about 2 feet tall and roughly 10 feet by 12 feet in dimensions, providing 120 square feet of space for the chickens.
Goal: Assemble a portable, predator-proof coop for chickens
