New chicken coop

I got a new chicken coop today, brand new and the chap even delivered it from Caven for €20. Its designed to take 16 birds with 3 bid next boxes on one side. I raised the legs up off the ground and this allows the big feeder to be underneath out of the rain and also keeps the dampness off the leg and stop them rotting.

I plan on moving it around leaving the birds on an area of ground for 2 weeks at a time. I open the gate on the fence and let them go where they like when I'm around but for their own protection its best that they are behind the electric fence.
