Advice please??

[HuffleClaw]

Hello all,
I need to know which ‘websites’ and/or businesses to buy a coop;pen from.

My chickens will free range at least 4+ hours a day.

I need room for maybe 10 chickens.

My budget is 400 or less.

I’d build it, but I am currently not able.

So if anyone has any links to sites that I could get a little something from it’d be greatly appreciated.

Would this be sufficient for 10 chickens?

Size wise, you should be fine but you'll need to do a few modifications if you want to use it as a coop. What kinds of predators do you get? The reviews say that it's not raccoon proof.

Have you tried Craigslist or freecycle? Facebook marketplace might have something too. How about converting a shed from home Depot or Lowe's? Ebay can be hit or miss.

Prefab coops tend to be a disappointment, especially since most of us would go that route, if only they were honest!

Prefabs will be an expensive disappointment; try to find a local person to build or modify something for you. A garden shed, or a hoop coop upgraded to be predator proof.
