Hudson Valley new chick mom

[Chickidee26]

Hello all...new chick mom here. We live in the Hudson Valley on fairly wooded property. We absolutely cannot find a coop that we would be happy with. Ordered one from TSC and it's just not going to work, not sturdy or big enough. Ideally I would like to build our own coop. We do not have a shed to convert. Can not find anyone selling a shed or coop on FB Marketplace or CL that is not too expensive, or run down and looks horrible. I would love to find a kit that we could put together ourselves....or at least give me the materials list and proper directions. Running out of time and getting nervous I won't find something good enough in time. We currently have 5 chicks we hatched from a local farmers eggs...not sure how many are roosters yet but I am assuming we may need to re-home a few but plan on hatching some more eggs and hoping to keep our flock less then 10. Please help !!!

Welcome to BYC, sorry no one replied. What did you end up doing?

We are keeping the coop we got from TSC. Adding a run totally surrounding the coop and will be expanding the coop itself at some point. Would’ve been nice to find an old shed to use but we would still end up building a run around it. I am also going to put up an electric fence around the run. We are not done yet but it’s coming along and I’m hopeful it will work. Thanks for asking!

In case you haven't seen it yet I believe this is the only active NY State thread, pretty much from all over the state.
