My Dad was a full time poultry farmer from the 20's until about 1962. He had about 2000 layers on the floor(before cages) and raised his own replacements from day-old chicks. He used about 12 portable coops on pasture for the replacement flock every year. We moved the coops three times each year, pulling them around the farm with our old Allis B(which I still have). The coops were basically an A-frame design built on 2x10 oak runners and were about 10' x 14'. They had a sheet metal roof and a heavy wire mesh floor. He kept around 150 chickens in each one. They were transferred to the coops at about 10 weeks and kept there until about 20 weeks old and laying pretty well. In the early fall we moved them into the laying house for the winter and the coops sat empty until the next year. I might be able to sketch one from memory, but it's been 50 years ago. email is open.
