When we were looking for a coop, my first thought was to find a playhouse or shed to convert into a chicken domicile. We ended up getting a smashing deal on a pre-built coop, but if anyone else wants to try a playhouse-conversion, this one might be a good choice: http://kids.woot.com/offers/outdoor-playhouse-2
It's $265 plus $5 shipping, which is pretty good for a wood playhouse. You could use the existing window cutout on one side for nesting box access, put some chicken wire over the door/window panes, add perches, and you'd be in business. FYI, the KidKraft website does say that their products are manufactured overseas.
If anyone does go this route, I'd be interested to see what you come up with!
