Like the title says I'm looking to build a coop for 6 to 8 backyard chickens. My plan is to get lacr cochin so they'll be a bit bigger than average chickens.
Now long term.. I know we plan to move in 4 or more years so I was thinking of trying to make the coop able to be taken apart again down the road? I had watched a video of someone who moved a lot and they had built their coop and run in sections so they laid flat after removing a few screws.
Over all what do people suggest for cleaning? I was leaning towards deep litter method. I know I plan to have a walk I. Run at the very least. I may do the same for the coop but at worse I plan to have a giant door on the side for easy cleaning.
Edit: has anyone used a coop from roost and root? They have a similar feed system to what I wanted but for the price I want to know what I'm getting heh. My lack of space to cut and tools are killing me.

I guess I'm asking for suggestions or plans to build similar to what I'm thinking. I've been trying to sketch up plans but I'm not really sure what I'm doing and I want to ensure dimensions are correct.
