Coop for sale on ebay... good?

[AnimalsComeFirst]

I am new to chickens (Almost a year, but i've had the same coop the whole time. ) and I really don't want to build a chicken coop, but we have been thinking about hiring someone to build us one... but i might try this coop, and then return it if I don't like it.

I'm working on going through my thousands of digital pictures right now to locate you some pics. Found two so far of the exterior that would give you some idea, but trying to get them to PhotoBucket and downloading is S-L-O-W. Not sure if I have any of the interior tho', but the coop is still set up in the yard even tho' we don't use it any more. I can see about getting you some pics with a chicken or two in the interior tomorrow afternoon or maybe Saturday.

We have 2 standard hens right now, and would like 1 - 2 more. I read a few reviews from people and they said they kept 4 chickens in there.

We bought a coop just like that on Ebay. The wood was around an 1/8 of an inch think and many pieces were broken. It didn't come with instructions for putting it together, just 3 pictures. We returned it, but only after the seller had ranted at us about how it WAS good quality.I think your best bet would be to buy some plans off of Ebay. We bought plans for the "coop Deville" and It's great and super sturdy. It holds 5-6 standard hens..... The guy who sells the plan is very helpful, we have called him several times when we need advice.Hope this helps!

looks like its now up to $200.....

seriously, build a box or something...cover it in hardware cloth then screw on plywood panels - leave ventilation up high 2x4's on sides for roosts

even the previous poster has one they don't use. lol
