I'm new but was interested in starting out, not really going any higher than five white leghorn at any given time due to local laws. Ideally, I want something that doesn't require hiring anyone, much DIY, and will last longer than two years. I've seen lots of things like Eglu and various other prefabs that paint a pretty picture and I will likely give them my money due to their convenience. I've looked at reviews and have heard a lot of pros/cons of it regarding flock size but since I'm at a hard limit due to laws, I believe it would be large enough for my chickens. However, considering I'm looking at the Pro version, I'm open to suggestions. So under 3k is another factor.
As far as predator threats, the most common are Cats, Raccoons, and Possums, as I live in the city. I've heard of people just converting sheds but I would likely need to get whatever I purchase delivered to my home. If you have any specific recommendations for sheds/coops/runs then please provide the name/link if you can. Overall I want to provide the best I can, but space is a limiting factor as I'm in the city. They'll have the backyard, which is appropriate considering the forum, so any help is appreciated.
