Welcome to BYC, Bob and Steph. Glad you decided to join our flock. That's usually the case with bought pre-fab coops. Not only are they usually cheaply made, they are never large enough for the number of chickens the manufacturers claim they will house. Chicken owners are almost always better off building their own coops as long as they make them large enough and predator proof. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
 
Hi Bob & Steph, welcome to BYC!

In addition to all the chicken chat here, there are forums and articles in the Learning Center for turkeys and guineas. Here they are (in case you haven't found them already):

Your comments about the pre-built coop vs. the self-built coop repeats what so many others have found out. Congrats on your 1st coop build!

It's nice to have you here.
