Hi My name is Mike and I live in Southern VT. I have ordered some chicks that will come in May. I am looking for advice on Coops. Has anyone bought the pre-made ones? Which are the best? I am not handy at all with carpentry. Any help would be great. I plan on 12 or so Bantams.
... I have not used the commercially available coops, but keep in mind space requirements. Mine are full size birds, so not sure how to figure for bantams. But there will be plenty of folks along to help out I'm sure.
and Welcome To BYC! Most of the prefab coop kits are not well made (especially for winter) and really overestimate the number of birds that can live in them comfortably, you can usually make or have made for you a much better one for the cost. You might want to post on your state threads
