If you are downsizing that much are you selling your coop which I would be intersted in as well?

Hi there
We have a huge old pheasant release pen thats not moveable and a coop given to us by a friend that has been repaired That houses our small flock of Orpingtons We have an Eglu that we use for guinea fowl keets So I am afraid we dont have a coop to spare sorry Our downsizing has been a gradual process We have sadly given up our pigs and goats as well as turkeys We now need to reduce our chicken numbers and Soay sheep
Please pm me for contact phone number if you wish Might be easier to discuss
