Before you buy a coop, please make a thread and get advice. Most prefab coops are inadequate for healthy chicken keeping. You will save yourself a lot of grief. Best of luck with your future flock!!!

I planned to get the Aivituivan extra large coop and fortify it with fresh paint and whatever could be needed. I am not handy or creative enough to build my own
