Coops...

[Winston1]

Hi! Has anyone here have experience with Carolina Coops? I've been looking at them for a few years now and was curious. They are super expensive but I'm looking for a long term investment and plan on having 6 chickens routinely... I also have been looking at Amish made ones. Google search always sends me to Wayfair and those coops are throw aways make with 1x1's. I'm open to ideas!!

I'm open to ideas!!

Convert an old shed into a coop and build a run on it. It will cost a fraction of what you'd pay for a Carolina coop and would be much larger and easier to work with.

Try Amazon, I found some nice ones after spending 1,000 somewhere else.

Yes, I see that would be a great option but I don't want to build anything. I'm so hoping I could pay 1/4-1/2 the cost of a Carolina Coop unless a few people here would say they are totally worth it. Maybe I'm not searching google properly.

Can you hire someone to convert a shed?

You won't find many decent coops through a Google search. Most "good" coops on here were built or modified to suit the owners needs.
