Hello BYC!

[thechickengurl]

Hey guys! Just have ordered my chooks (ready on May 24th)! I am rubbish at DIY but want to pen my bantams in with welded mesh panels. I've have just just seen some from where i am getting my chicken house from and are charging £38 ($63.51) each with a no dig skirt. Is this good value for money?

Welcome to BYC!

I do not know if this is a fair price or not. But if you can't build one yourself, then you sometimes have to pay the price! Have you checked out our coops pages for some ideas? Some members have built coops from pallets pretty cheaply and even several of these members were gals! Take a look here for some ideas....

While you are there, check out the tractor section too. Those are very small and look to be fairly easy to assemble.

Good luck in this new adventure and welcome to our flock!

Hello And Welcome To BYC! Prices will really vary by area, you might want to check out your country thread (or do a search on the name if there is not one listed) and see if people in your area would know what a reasonable price is. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Can't really say as I am not sure what they are, but make sure that the openings in the mesh are small enough to protect your birds from predators.
