Need a coop ASAP

[Wendy84]

I have 4 chicks that are about 3 weeks old. I thought that I had a little more time until I needed to have a coop in my backyard (which I've been saving for). Tomorrow I'll be taking in a hen that will be laying soon and I need to put a coop together for all of my girls - would anyone happen to have anything in the Annapolis, MD area for a cheap price or have any suggestions of where to look?

Go to Craigs List but think creatively...coops, dog houses, sheds, playhouses. You might find something cheap or even free that you can convert to meet the needs of your little flock. The ReStore, Habitat for Humanity's thrift store often has some great finds, if you are willing to be creative. For example, I've often eyed the big kitchen cupboards that are donated and wondered if one of the big base cabinets could be converted into a little coop...some of the drawers could be removed and used for ventilation (cover with hardware cloth), they already have nice doors...might work.
