We got free pallets from a local business and built our run. Very economical and turned out great. Sure you could find free plans for a coop on the internet. Good luck!
Great idea but too pricy! Look on Facebook marketplace for a playhouse, much cheaper! You could even try Craigslist. Then you’ll have plenty of money to fix it up the way you want!
I am also from SW Virginia and am a new member and chicken owner. My babies are 18 was old, all RIR, and have started laying. I really love taking care of them and am thrilled each time I get an egg!
