I am very frustrated. My great idea of getting a coop out of a dumpster hasn't turned out so well. I thought I found it on the internet but it isn't the right model. I cannot find a similar one on the Internet . My husband and I are trying to puzzle it together but it doesn't make sense. I hate puzzles. I am tripping a reverse image search on Google but I can't figure that out either. Really working my brain today. Guess it's good for the brain to puzzle things out.

Here are some of the pieces. I wish I knew a teenager who wanted to make some money.

I cringe whenever I look at a TSC flyer and see those tiny houses they claim will hold 4, 6, or 8 chickens... and then they actually put pics of the chickens in the runs! The runs have less room than they require inside the coop! Yeah, it might hold 8 chickens... 8 Serama chickens. I'd much rather put that money towards an adequate dwelling for my birds. Just my 2c...

I cringe even more when I compare the price tag to what you get! Mine isn't big enough, but my 6 all bed down in half of it, and it's attached to a 4x12 run with access to a fenced-in chicken yard, so they have more than enough room.

You worry too much, Seth. It's very hard to hear a chick when it moves inside the shell. They have feathers, and it cushions the sound so predators can't hear when they change positions. Since they can't run away from the predators, they move without making any noise at all. Now you know...

You can always compensate for small coop space with a large run, since most of their time is spent outside. It's those days when they're stuck inside due to inclimate weather that the extra space comes in handy. I spent more than I wanted on mine, but since I have less than $600 in each, it's too bad when compared to similar sized "kits"... which are easily double that amount. I could build the same sized structures for half (or less) than what I spent on these if I had access to some good recycled material. Since I don't, and I have neighbors, and it's viewable from the road, I tried to make it look fairly decent. I would cringe more if I saw a couple of shanties out there...

This pane is on it's side. Those two white U shaped pieces of wood are where the roosts sit. The metal bit is a grate for air Ventilation and is the top end.
The sliding door bit should be the top bit. I bet the big missing panel is where the ladder and coop door go.
