You can buy one but it's just as easy to build one yourself

Don't forget old fish tanks work great....just need matts for the bottom....easy to clean also.

You could make a coop out of old pallets, or you could make one out of an old camper. I mad some pens out of wire panels with a barrel in the middle that serves as a coop.

If you have an old five or six drawer chestof drawers it would be the easiest to convert. It meassures around the same as what your wanting to make with alot less time and work needed. Thats what I did and it works great! After taking out the drawers all you need is 2 small hings from walmart($1.97), 2 1x2x8's, some nails or screws, and some hardware cloth or chicken wire to make a top door. Nice, simple, and somthing anyone can make! Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.
