Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Visit the Coop and Run Forum before you buy a single piece of lumber, and for the love of all that is good, DO NOT buy a pre-fab cutsie wootsie coop!! They aren't worth the cardboard box they come in.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Saw one at Agri supply today that was over $400. I figured to be sure I could build one for that!!

I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, the current price of new building materials is ridiculous! Your $400.00 wont go far if you want a sizeable coop that is predator proof. Best of luck.
