How can a kid make money during quarantine?

Keep bio security in mind if you clean others coops.

Good point!

Do you have wheels, or are you on foot? With people not wanting to leave the house, maybe try and get an ad on nextdoor, craigslist, ect, offering to run errands for people?

Are you planning to build your own coup? This way you can cut a few costs... Good luck!

If you like older people, many people will pay just to get a day off from watching/helping their older parents or siblings.

I just built a coop, 4’ x 4’ for $200. Holds 8 chickens comfortably (not including the run).

Depending on how old you are, you can do almost anything. My 8 year old is going to start pet sitting and dog walking. This summer she pulled weeds for people. Bake sale maybe? Make a flier and text it to friends/family/neighbors, have them preorder and then deliver muffins, cookies, etc.

Good luck!

Why not get an actual job?

Things that I know may work in you situation. I don't know how old you are but get a job. Restaurants here are looking for bus boy and dish washers. Maybe you can do 15 hrs a week.
Can you turn any part of your poultry hobby into income? selling hatching eggs, selling chicks, selling pullets, selling chicken manure, selling feathers? a feed bag of chicken manure sells for $15 around here. I love the dream coop you picked out but I guarantee you you can find - free coops on craigslist . Sanitize them with bleach water and you in business. Think outside the box. what features of the coop of your dreams do you really like? If you could get those features some other way, some other coop, would it bring you joy?

I may, but as much as I'd love to I'm worried because I've never built anything before. I don't want to spend all that time, money, and effort, and then have this cobbled together, not very structurally sound coop.

I'm too young, but I'm flattered that you think that I'm older than I actually am.

I'm not old enough to get a 'real' job-but I"m flattered that you think I"m older than I really am. I can't do chicks or hatching eggs (no roo) but maybe feathers or manure. I'm not sure how much of a market there would be around me, but I can check it out. Coops on craigslist for me are all either used prefabs or $400+, smaller than I need, no run, and also are pretty far drives away. I've also checked letgo, and have ended up with similar issues.
