Heres another coop...

[kvmommy]

Ok I've posted at least 3 things that were potential coops for advice and all of them fell through. Well heres another and its an actual coop. Do you think its worth the money? Its really ugly though.

What do you guys think? Should I just build my own?

I think you could make it look pretty. A little paint does miracles. But how do you clean it? Does the roof lift up or something? The worst thing is when it's hard to have access to cleaning.......

A good sanding and a lick of paint will sort out the ugly factor. Looks like it could also do with more ventilation.

As the previous poster stated make sure it's easy to clean, if the back wall is hinged that would be brilliant.

I really like the shape. In Chickens Magazine this month they showed this shape and I loved it. A new coat of paint and possibly a higher run (eventually) and I think it's cute.

even if accessibility is hard you can fix that and paint it to make it look good and hey only $100 dollars isn't bad either

No sweat. Church that thing up in no time with some elbow grease and paint. There's a WHOLE lot more there than 100 bucks in materials alone.

paint can do a whole LOT!!! I would make him and offer and see if he would take alittle less. It all comes down to ease of cleaning! lots of potential!!! I love the shape and the discreteness of it!
check out my coop page and see what paint and tlc can do! Yours is in better shape from the get go..
look forward to seeing the transformation.

I think with a little tlc, it would look amazing. Grab it now, ask questions later
