No wood coop?

[Seachickens13]

Hey, can you guys give me some advice? We are going to build/ buy a new coop this summer, but our old one was wood and it
A. Rotted
B. Was hard to clean and
C. Attracted red mite
So we want a coop for about 20 birds that is easy to clean and has nest boxes outside. We have heard about metal ones, plastic ones, brick ones and even a transit can upcycled into a coop any ideas about where we could buy one or any advice on how to build a coop? Thanks very much

I've seen these coops working well for many people, however, I don't think they can house as many chickens as you hoped to get.

I've seen these before, but haven't ever used one, so I don't know how well built some of them are. Keep in mind that MyPetChicken uses the manufacturers' calculations, so some of the coops won't hold as many birds as they say that they will:

You could buy a vinyl, plastic, or metal shed and modify it a bit. There are a lot of affordable options available.

Maybe the problems that you had were not because the coop was wood.

Plastic or metal most likely comes from over seas if you're in North America. Wood is renewable and can come from a local lumber mill, provide what you're looking for, and last a long time.
