A few weeks ago, I shared my surprise and disbelief at the cost estimate for my new chicken coop. It was almost $2000 for a 10x6x8 open front coop. I received a lot of feedback and most of you thought the cost was on target, especially with the high prices of lumber today. I ultimately decided to go with a company out of NC, ChickenPartner.com who prefabricated the coop and assembled it onsite.

Let me say that I think I made an excellent decision. The final cost was about $2200 for an 8x15 coop and run. That included an extra cost for adding the floor and $100 for delivery. The owner, Stan, recently bought a saw mill so his lumber prices have remained steady. Also, he delivers across the East Coast and judging from this process, I can see why the demand is so great. It took about an hour and 15/30 minutes. It took a little longer since I added a floor. I was very impressed with this process and the product. He has it down to a science. He left my home in SC and was going to FL to make his next delivery.

Take a look at my video for an overview of the assembly, as well as a final tour. I call this: Deluxe Apartment in the Woods (a reference to The Jefferson's because my chicken are "moving on up!"

Here is a link to my first coop that I augmented. Here is the video. I appreciate your feedback and comments.

Someday I want a coop this nice, gorgeous! So much ventilation! Are you planning on painting/staining it? Any plans for a predator apron?

The builder said I could varnish it if I like, but he doesn't think it would be a great benefit. Yes! I will definitely add a predator apron... maybe this weekend. I'll try to move the chicks in tonight. I have 7 two-week old chicks at my brother's. I'll be moving them into the old coop in a couple of weeks.
