Wanted - Chicken Coop - Fife

Does anyone have or know anyone selling a chicken coop that will hold about 6 birds, looking to increase my flock. I can travel to collect. Thanks. :)

How much is it going for? Don't need anything big or fancy as only for another 4 or 6 chooks.  :)

I'm also looking for a new chicken coop, but much bigger & better than my existing one.

If you know of a really large one (ie, too big for James) then let me know.

no pics yet but it is a 12 bird house and the description is: Description of Hen house.    It's a raised house which allowed the birds access underneath.   The lower sides are mesh with a board which can be moved to either side depending on wind.   The rear lower panel swivels open.   The house itself has 3 nest boxes, access door to rear and pull out tray for easy cleaning.

Sounds exactly like the one we have and paid about £500 for. If it is in good condition, although a bit big, sounds perfect. Thanks :)

Now Nicki settle down I was thinking perhaps 3 Silkies and 3 Frizzles ha ha. Tonight I got 3 very young Indian Runners (all female hopefully). I am chuffed as have wanted Runners for a very long time.

What colour of runners did you get James? They are probably my favourite kind of duck.

Haven't seen Andy's ones recently, Beth, but will possibly be up there next week probably.  They are doing well though!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Thats good to hear Annie- I don't have any runners left here, Mr Fox has paid a visit. I think he must have taken the ducks out through their pop hole as they were sitting on eggs in the shed  >:(

Hi Beth, I went to Gordon and collected them last night. I just love the look of them, they had their first swim today and were a bit OMG what do we do here?? 2 are black and 1 is yellow - so far. I will post a picture later.
