Looking for a coop I can order

[Riverbend Farms]

I am currently looking for a new coop+run for my show bantams, and right now I have the smaller producers pride coop. It sucks, to say the least. The hardware cloth is coming off, the door broke and it is now zip tied together. What would you say are some quality coops for under $1100 (Preferably cheaper than that)? I saw these coops and was wondering if any one had good experiences or bad experiences with them: https://www.chickencoopcompany.com/products/orpington-lodge-chicken-coop-6-12-chickens

Get yourself a wooden shed or playhouse and convert it. You may even find one "Free - You Move It," or ask around with neighbors and friends whose kids have outgrown theirs. Both sheds and coops are easy to convert. If you can get a playhouse with a swing set attached, all the better. With a couple of strips of roofing/shed siding and some hardware cloth, you'll have a good-sized, covered run!

Wow that's a pricey coop, and I agree that you'd do better just building or DIYing your own. Even if you buy this coop, note that the instructions say that you'll need to put more work into it (stain it and anchor it, add skirting or pavers around it for predator protection, etc)

Check out The Garden Coop plans online - they offer several that may suit your needs - and def check out the nearly unlimited amount of ideas here.

However, if you're dead set on a pre-built coop, you might can get away with the one you linked to or a similar one since you're in CA. How long it lasts will depend a lot on your climate (amount of wind, rain, etc). Also note that this coop will require a completely flat area to situate it on.

Another idea is to check out local builder options. We have several guys in our area that come to your property and can build a coop in 1-2 days for about the same price as what you're asking. Several more that offer pre-built coops out of great materials and deliver it to your site. They usually have several 'models' or sizes you can choose from and will often make modifications to suit your needs or wishes.
