HELP getting a coop!!

Get the shed... convert it.... then use a dog kennel , modified using some hardware cloth along bottom edge and an apron either buried or as an apron for the chicken run. Then send or cancel the ones you ordered.... the prefab coops have a lot to be desired.
Search dog kennel for run here... you will get tons of ideas. Same with the shed!

I ordered 2 got 2 and they were like barbie doll play houses. What state are you in. I went with a local guy not amish but something like that. They built my lean to years ago. So I called him and he is going to make me one. The building is going to be 6' x 10' and the run is going to be the same. Ventilation down both sides of the building. They know what they are doing. So you could look locally to some one like amish that makes buildings. They can make it smaller also. Good luck

Can I see a picture of that ventilation? I am building my coop and I don't know how to do the ventilation. Also, my coop I am building is the same size. lol! Thank you!

Well my 20 & 24 year old sons made me a down & dirty chicken run off our screen porch for now. At least it’s a start and they’re outside!!!
