Hi! Let me start by saying, I have 4 chickens in a pre-built house, and 5 ducks in a pre-built house. My advice is just make sure you build an awesome fence, and give them a roof (even if it’s a tarp, over the prebuilt. They’ll last for many years. My fence is dug down 9” below the dirt line & backfilled with stone. It completely encloses the girls area, top too. It’s both coated 14gauge wire& lined with chicken wire. I sank the the 8” x 8’ poles with 100# of concrete each, down 24” (our frost line is 18”) I lined the inside bottom with landscaping timber’s and bolted them to the main posts. My cage/ fence is my first line of defense against predators. I then put the tarps over the two housing areas and used 84” long x 6” wide, capped pvc pipes to push the tarps up in the middle (like a circus tent). My prebuilts stay safe & dry. Nothing warped them at all (very common complaint for prebuilts) This is just what I did, and my recommendation if you want to go that route.
