To answer some questions: I am doing this to earn money...hopefully starting a small business :) It cost about $300, give, or take. I have seen a lot of the prefab coops, which are smaller and the materials are flimsy, go for $400+. I recall seeing a William-Sonoma coop of the same style go for...
Hello, everyone!
I need your input on my new coop, please :) I want to sell it, but I am not sure what to ask. Solid construction, 16 gauge wire, 3 nest boxes, plexiglass windows. The flip door is magnetic, so no need for locks. 2 coats of exterior primer and 2 coats of exterior paint. The coop...

Just want to know if anyone has advice on what to do now?
Anyone have a good recommendation for a chicken sitter in the East Syracuse area? I have bantams and guineas (18 all together). Private message me for the details
Thanks!
