Anyone have any experience with this coop? Looks good, but not sure about it.

We love our Eglu Go. Although when you order it ask them to include the locking mechanism to add onto the back door. This helps keep it even more secure from predators. It doesn't come with the kit - it's extra.
I am just curious so I look it up. Wow! It cost around $300-500 for only 2-3 chickens.
I know, right. I've been shopping for a coop these past few days and they are all $300-$500 and only hold 2-3 chickens. I've even met with a few carpenters (some are here on BYC) that also charge that amount to make a wooden one that only fits 2-3 chickens. I figure might as well buy the Eglu Go since it's so easy to clean and will last much longer than any wooden one. This way I get the most for my money.
If you don't need portable, just build one from free pallets or shipping box. I built my from shipping box and total cost around $75. It hold about 15 chickens. I am sure you can build one portable out of 55gal plastic barrel or dog house. With that kind of cost, I would just by the eggs.
