I've been slowly increasing flock size, and am needing a larger coop. I don't really have any way to personally pick up lumber, and unless you can select pieces yourselves these days, you really get a lot of crap lumber when you have store pick & deliver for you. I'm also not happy with the cheap quality & high cost of China coops from places like Tractor Supply. SO, in my searching, I've come across some cedar Deer Blinds, made of 3/4" cedar planks, that consist of only 6 pieces: 4 walls, a floor and a roof, that can be delivered to my home for assembly here. They will need modified some - mesh over windows, roosts & nest box & automatic door added & possibly some high vents, but to me they look like they have potential, and are WAY sturdier than any China coop. If anyone would have any other modification suggestions, I'd appreciate the input. I'm a pretty handy senior lady, but still looking for a quick, easy & sturdy coop solution. Video below shows assembly, they come in either 5' X 5' or 5' X 6' & just over 6' high.
