This time, I used the same wagon frame from Princess Auto. It happened to be on sale for $240. Add about $100 for lumber and maybe another $20 for hardware and we’re at still under $400 in materials. The roof and sides are going to be used or left over roof steel. I’ve got that started now:

Chicken Coop Construction Almost Complete
We already have one mobile coop, but this second one will allow me to keep this year and last year’s flock separate for a while and gives all the birds a bit more space.
