Is this coop a good find?

[U_Stormcrow]

Just the top, roosts below, so their heads are out of the direct breeze. You want to move warm moist, ammonia laden air out - not because its warm, but because its moist and full of ammonia.

Thank you @U_Stormcrow . We will check it out after the holiday. If we end up getting it I’ll probably have more questions for you! I appreciate the time you took to draw up your suggestions.

Aart and others are better at this, but I happened to be on line.

I build all my own. Ugly. Functional. But not in your budget. Stuff is expensive right now. Just the roofing on my last build was $300, without considering the screws, the purlins, the rafters themselves, or the hurricane ties. I think I had another $300 in lumber, and another $300 in walls, and its as minimally framed as possible. It also has 0/zero/none/nil/nada predator protection. Its an open shelter in a larger run.

Hopefully, this pans out for you.

We have 4 pieces of plywood and 8 2x4s left over from a project along w some scrap wood so that will help w the cost. The coop is cheap enough for us to buy with $ left over to add some modifications. Our other option is to use free pallets from my job to construct one so I won’t be terribly disappointed if this doesn’t pan out. It would just save us a ton of time on the “bones” of it lol.

Not sure I'd bother with it.
They've already added on to it...and really wonder how well that was done,
and how the heck you can move such a thing.
The roof on the main coop looks pretty worn, may not last much longer.
Did they give you any dimensions?
Definitely look very closely inside for water marks from leakage.

Dimensions of each piece are 4x4

That doesn't sounds quite right.
Maybe the addition is 4x4, but those proportions don't match the barn roofed coop.

I wouldn’t spend good money on it, sorry. I suggest keep looking.

Thank you all for your advice. Sounds like it was too good to be true

I couldn't reply with your weird quote.

What was good, the price?
Ya (maybe)get what you pay for
