They sell some on eBay, but they're pretty expensive. Very nice though. I've been thinking about buying one.

I have this, It is nice for the2 girls I have You could probaly fit 4-6 I would think, but the pen small you have to get down on your hand and knee's to catch one lol, Unless y ou can get them from the coop itself, the top opens up. We made a pve run, for the back door so it increased the area they have to run around safely ( we have hawks) It is nice and easy to put together. Took maybe 45minutes for my son13 and I to do it. If I had the knowledge then that I have know I would have bought a tiny shed.

alot of people buy a "play house" pre fab kit and with a few minor adjustments you can have a wonderful coop

I made this thread a while ago it's worth checking out: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=57816

Thankyou, I've decided pre fab is to rich for my blood.
Maybe a playhouse or storage shed.?. Kelly, ,the children are growing, 3 boys, 2 girls. Do you have any more babies?
