We remodeled our old doghouse into a coop this past weekend. All we paid for were some hinges, nuts and bolts, and a piece of plywood.

Try Craigslist - other small buildings can be repurposed.

It would be pretty easy to build a small one for two or three chickens too. If you had a way of getting some scrap wood it would be real cheap. Lumber yards always have broken plywood and stuff that gets thrown out. Also dumpsters on construction sites. It's amazing what gets thrown out.
