Actually, I got a small coop yesterday! So excited!

Thats super cute! I love the little cupalo!

It's all good. Things have totally changed shine i posted this. :)

Thanks everyone. We have definitely discarded the idea of getting one of these coops.

Thank you! Please check out my new thread with pictures of the shed. You've been so helpful, I'd love your thoughts on it.

I have taken photos of the shed. I'm going to start a new thread with that. Thanks so much!

So our shed is shaped like this. Placing vents like this would be sufficient? I'm thinking of one's with louvers to keep rain out and covered with screen? Maybe a window or two with covers hinged at the top like bahama shutters. There's no electricity so windows would be a good thing.

This link is very helpful. Thanks!

Do you have them fully closed front and back like the one I showed in the other thread?

Would insulation in the roof help? I'm starting to lean toward that just because I could have a larger area for less cost. We don't keep anything of value in it but the mower so really it doesn't even matter if rain comes in so long as it's not on the equipment (or the chickens). We could...

Truthfully, a bit hotter because there's no breeze. But we could certainly cut windows, cover them with hardware cloth and put awnings. We have lots of left over siding from our garage.

There is one other option we have. We have a good size, really crappy, garden shed; just metal siding over a wooden frame on an amateur-poured, uneven concrete base. We use it to store our lawn mower, etc. My husband has talked about tearing it down, but it's useful and I don't want to spend...

But what about winter? Those seem awfully ... open. Sorry if that seems stupid.

I see. Sorry, I totally thought you meant sheds that we're specially for chickens already.

Well shoot. Thank you all. I really, REALLY don't want to spend more than $600 on this. Not with all the other stuff that goes along with getting started. Back to the drawing board.

We're only getting 4 birds. I would think the larger would be plenty big, wouldn't it? I mean 4x4 is 16 sqare feet. It seems that large. I guess i could be wrong.

I asked in another thread about the only one I feel confident building. No one answered me yet. 🤷‍♀️

Where exactly do I find those? Seriously, I have no idea.

Our local TS has these two coops in stock. As we have two weeks to be ready for our 4 little pullets, we are considering buying instead of making a coop. Could I get your opinions please? We're in SW Missouri. Heat will be a bigger problem than cold for our chickens. I'm a bit worried about...
