How much should I sell my chicken coop for?, MD

[lovemychicns]

I just bought a new chicken coop it's 8 x 14 ft. I love it. I am going to sell my original coop that is 6x6 ft. but not sure how much I should sell it for. What do you all think is a fair price. See pics below. I live in Maryland and it would be pickup only. I have 18 chickens and they were only locked up at night and free ranged all day and were very comfy at night. The white pen is only a safe area with netting over it. The pen has a door they enter the pasture through. When I go to close them in at night I see they always huddled close even though there was plenty of roost space left. The egg box on the back is a great feature. There are 8 inch vents all around the coop, under the overhang of the roof, 3 windows covered in hard cloth wire. I made 3 Plexiglas window covers that I could attach and take them off when the weather was warm. The white powder that you see on the roost is just diatomaceous earth. I always dust the coop with it and also spray poultry protector all around and have never had any mites etc.

If you want to come from Ohio and get it then you deserve it just for making the trip, LOL.

Where is Carol County anyway? Got relatives around DC that I could visit and then just swing by you and take that little beauty right off you hands!!!!

What a great coop! I'm not sure what a fair price would be on it. I would take into account what you spent. I see used coops posted in our paper here for $200-$700, but they aren't nearly as nice as yours, nor as big. The price would also depend on how clean you get it. I know I'd be willing to pay quite a bit more for a coop that was cleaned out and ready for my chickens.

Generally speaking I price my coops out at 32.00 per square foot, but that is new. Then again they're also unpainted.

Are you POSITIVE you want to sell it? I would love to have an extra coop of that quality. What if you decide you want to separate out a breeding pair, a hen goes broody and you want her to raise the babies, or you need a brooder house? Unless you absolute must sell it, I would reconsider.

Here, that would go for around $800, even used. It's a beaut! I agree you should keep it for an "extra"!!

I wouldn't take any less than $400 for that coop. But I'm also with the others, why would you sell it? You could separate out breeds and use that as a breeding pen!

Hi Karen, I live in Carroll County Maryland. I am in need of another coop for my Banties. Let me know how much you would want for it. It's cute and would fit my needs.
