I would reccomend against any prefabs, they're built to appease human 'aesthetic', with egg farm space standards which is 1 sq foot per bird. Which is way too small for health and happiness, they're also ridiculously expensive for their poor quality.
Not to mention, the plastic kind are intended for temperate climates, if you get summers over 80f and winters under freezing, you'll definitely want to skip it. The lack of ventilation is killer in both situations.
I would consider finding a shed to convert or a handyman to build you one.
