New coop this year?

[dreamer5577]

Hello all!

Unfortunately, I just do not have the skill to build a new coop. I built our last one, but it is extremely small (Could fit about 3 chickens) and I could barely build that one. I have been looking for coops and/or sheds to buy online, but there are just TOO MANY! I currently have a flock of five and MAY be adding a few more. Do you know of any decent size, decent priced coops and where I can purchase them? Thank you!

Check out sheds at Lowe's or Home Depot. They'll probably have someone that can assemble them for you if necessary, but you might have to do something for a foundation. Chat with them. They may have someone that can help with that.

You'll need to add a roost, maybe nests but those are dead easy, ventilation, and a pop door. Again chat with the guys assembling it for you. If you can tell them what you want they may take that job on as a side contract or know someone for you to talk to.

I don't know of anything online that is sold as a coop that is worth the money, but these sheds are often a good way to get a building that will work with some modifications.

Another option is to fine a handyman. maybe by chatting with the people at a local hardware store or the people in that building section at Lowe's or Home Depot, and get someone to build a coop for you. That way you can get exactly what you want.
