So I would like to replace my coop. The one I have my husband and I bought then added onto, and I hate it. Its ugly, its hard to get to the places I need to clean and collect eggs and even harder to get to the run to fill the feeders etc. It was a nightmare to get done with DH and I arguing the whole time. I love him, but we are not a couple made to build things together. P
I don't really have the time or energy to build, I have a rotator cuff injury of my dominant arm and couldn't do it myself, and if I get DH involved we will fight again.
There are a few people local who build nice sturdy coops but I am not sure I can get a fully assembled coop into my yard through the existing gates in my fence.
I was thinking a kit made in sections that could be assembled in a day or two by me and maybe a friend that would more easily fit through my gate would be awesome. But most seem to be made out of crappy materials.
Wondered if anyone had recommendations? I only have a few chickens and hoped to keep it under $1k and I prefer an integrated run with elevated coop like this:
I also am considering a coop alone joined to one of the nice steel runs they sell at Winco.
