Hello! I am a newbie chicken person with mediocre carpenter skills. I am looking for a small coop (we live in the city and are only allowed to have 2 chickens according to the code).
I looked at downloadable plans for the Garden Coop but when I priced out the materials it came to like $500. Yikes!
I am now looking at the pre-made Salt Box coop off of the My Pet Chicken website which is $399. It looks good, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with it and if it is decent quality materials.
We saw the Chicken Barn at a local feed store, but with nest box and run it was kind of out of our price range. Does anyone have any premade coop recommendations? We are not skilled enough carpenters to piece together scrap wood ad hoc, so we would either need coop plans with less building costs or a premade coop that would be cheaper than the $500 material price on the Garden Coop.
Thanks for y'alls help!
