Thanks! Yeah, that is what I've heard about the store bought ones. I think I'm going to give it a go at building my own. I have a lot of pallets, wood, shingles, chicken wire, etc. laying around. I'm going to have fun with it! :) I'll post pictures as I go!
Hey all! Name is Dave and I'm new to BYC from SW Michigan! I'm going to get chickens this weekend and have been told different things about chicken coops (where to get them, what to get, etc.) Wondering if someone can point me to somewhere near to get one or if they know anyone selling one...
Yes, I'm referring to a prefab. I have an old horse barn in my back yard I have considered turning into a coop. It would be more than enough room for 6 chickens, but would need some fixing up first. I figure I could work on that while they grow. I know the prefab ones aren't the best, but...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, my wife and I plan on picking some up this weekend along with a coop! We have been wanting to do this for years and since the COVID outbreak, we have more time at home to do so!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now...
