Any place to buy a coop for 10 hens or more?

[steph1200]

Can someone direct me to a website that sells coops that hold more than 10 hens
I can't find a place to get a chicken coop that holds that many!

Sorry, I don't know of any. A word of caution, if i may: even if you do find a coop being advertised as being suitable for 10 chickens, its highly unlikely that it will house so many chickens comfortably. A rough guide of 4sqft per bird (excluding nest boxes) and 1ft roost space per bird should help indicate how realistic the claims of the manufacturers may be.

Good luck

You could buy an 8x10 prefab shed from a big box store and build it out (or hire someone to) with windows, roosts, nests, ventilation, ect.

Just get a shed kit. A 6x8 will be the perfect size, and you will be able to stand up comfortably. Any prefab coop big enough for 10 adult birds is going to cost at least $2,000 or more.

Looks like that would fit the budget.....https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1137126/looking-for-someone-to-build-my-coop#post_17622326

But why spend that kind of money if you can get something that will do just as well for half that price?

If you can't built it (or modify a purchased shed) yourself, labor is expensive.
It's a budget, and a rather realistic one IMO to hire a build, not a promise....if it comes in lower, great.

You don't need a big coop for 10 hens. However, 15" x 15" or large run help reduce fighting between them.
