Hi all!
I'm just embarking on this whole awesome chicken business, and of course want to have the best coop for my future feathery friends. I've been searching high and low for the best coops, the most affordable...teetering between wanting to do it ourselves (yeah right), to spending way beyond our budget, or getting something cheap through ebay, certainly made in China.
I came across www.greenchickencoop.com and loved that their coops were USA-made, made with renewable timber, and non-toxic paint. However, the coops ship whole, which can be costly, and the largest one only holds 8 chickens (maybe 10 if they only had 1 square feet per hen in the coop). So far, my e-mail interactions with them have been wonderful. Dan, the owner, has been very attentive to my inquiries, even over the holiday. But, I was wondering if any chicken peeps out there have real experience with these coops? Does anyone have them? How well do they hold up? Are they a good size, or do you find yourself wanting to expand even more?
