An ultra-compact, predator-proof mobile chicken coop designed specifically to match strict dimensional constraints while maximizing safety and structural integrity. Built entirely from naturally rot-resistant Western Red Cedar and heavy-duty 1/2-inch galvanized hardware cloth, this design features an elevated roosting cabin over an open-air run. Diagonal framing gussets are utilized to completely eliminate lateral racking caused by the high 3:1 height-to-depth ratio.
