Hmm, they cost a lot I see. Is there any place I can buy a hoop coop or the materials for one. I keep searching up the materials for it, but they all are very expensive, or not what I am looking for.

A hoop coop is something that most folks make for themselves and I've not seen one for sale. The "cattle panel" setup is quite inexpensive and I feel that you could do that. Each cattle panel costs about $27. I think you would only need two. You need pressure treated 4x4's for the bottom and a 8 footer is $10.60. I didn't check for the tarp top, but we used a regular cheap top for the quad garage, also about $10. You would have to build something on the ends, but even considering that, it's pretty cheap! We started out with our chickens in a resin shed. This one exactly! About $700 for a 8x10. You still have to add roosts and I didn't think you wanted to spend that much. Chickens are not inexpensive!! Good Luck! :hugs

Chickens are pretty inexpensive. They're housing and run on the other hand. 😂
