coops and runs

[aldenpepper]

Where do most people buy their coops? We would like one that is reassembled and sturdy and with a run. Thank you.

Most people build their own but try tractor supply or a similar store maybe you can order one through them.

Make sure to do your due diligence before you lay down your money. Some of these store bought coops look great in a catalog or on the internet, but are flimsy and poorly made, and often smaller dimensions then stated. If you find one you like online, try to find a store that carries it so you can look at it before buying.

Try looking at lowes, they have sheds prebuilt that make good coops and dog kennels for runs. The online ones are mostly flimsy and small.
Welcome and enjoy!

Mind the amount of birds suggested for pre-made coops too. TS has one for almost $200 that says good for 6 chickens but it is small and will get messy fast with more than 3 chickens in my opinion. When you are looking at buying imagine cleaning it out. Will it be easy to reach into the back to scoop, etc? If it is low to the ground and you are tall will you be able to easily get to your chickens? Just a few questions I've learned to ask myself
