Hey Dylan. I just finished making a little coop for if I ever have sick or injured chickens. It cost only $3.74 to make and that was for paint brushes and HWC. I just found someone with some laying hens and I am getting 2 tonight. The little coop will work fine for them while I quarantine them. Well I saw that someone said that I make them for about $50.00. I can make you a smaller one if you want me to. When are you getting the bantams? I will see how much wood we have left and maybe I can put something together quick! I will post a pic of mine in a minute.
My daughter needed a place to keep her 3 chickens away from my silkies.
The House part is 2 1/2 X3 feet and the wire part is 2 1/2 X3 feet. It cost $70.00
I use the Chicken Hutch and Run for my breeding bantams. I have the plan for the coop listed in the second post and I will be building some for the future.

It was around $250 including the run and patio stones. I did use pallets for the pen and some of the framing and already had shingles and wood sealer and stain. I had to buy the paint, plywood and hardware plus lots of screws. I bet you could build it for a lot less if you had the time to hunt for scrap materials.

I built mine like that and I have 3 bantams. Mine is 4x8 i think. I got my tin and plywood for the roof free but the wire, and other wood didnt cost much. I think I have $100 in my whole coop.
