Hello! I was wondering is it cheaper to buy a store bought coop or build one yourself? also how big would a coop need to be and how many nesting boxes for the eggs would I need for around 5 hens? Thank you

Build your own! Most store bought ones are garbage. For five standard hens I would give them 3 sq. feet per bird. I would guess two or three nesting boxes would work fine. Make your coop bigger than needed in case you want to add more chickens later.
