I am in Chicago. I did look at building, but by the time I buy materials and labor, its about the same (maybe even a bit more expensive). I dont mind buying it, just want to find a good resource and a smart design.
Thank you for the quick reply! The coop we are planning will have 4 birds to start with a "walk-in" run to make cleaning easier. The roof is a big flat roof that is on a 2nd floor with trees towering over one side.
Does anyone have experience with a coop on the roof? What can I use on the floor of the run that will let the chickens scratch their feet? I was thinking of also adding a sand box so that they can roll in the sand (since there will not be dirt). Any suggestions?
I am new to raising chickens and looking for some help. I need a resource for purchasing a coop that others have used before. One resource I found online (www.backyardpetstructures.com) has great designs but I have not found anyone with experience ordering from here. please help.
Thanks in advance!
