Omlet low rise run

[Folly's place]

No dimensions listed, a very bad sign!!!
The one plastic structure that does work, with modifications, is available here in the USA as a garden shed, from the big box stores. Walk-in sized, built well, and with window openings covered in hardware cloth added, a very nice coop.
Look at garden sheds, not prebuilt chicken coops!

There is an easy way to build your own coop by using phenolic resin coated plywood which is often used for trailer floors.

Ok, will have a look into it

... would be suitable for 8 large fowl or 15 bantams. ...

This is absurd, the chickens are supposed to be alive and not dead and stuffed in one on top of the other!

Yeh I understand.

I am sorry, I do not mean to sound rude. But these descriptions are just ridiculously false, these so called coops being designed by people that obviously don't know a thing about poultry and their requirements at all.

Building your own chicken coop with the above mentioned phenolic resin coated plywood panels is really easy and will last much longer.
There are a multitude of very good tutorials on youtube, you don't have to be a carpenter to get your coop done in less than a few days.

I went with a playhouse. Its plastic and has tons of ventilation. My playhouse was perfect size for 7 full grown birds but every playhouse has different measurements. I have now added on it with wood but the front is still plastic. Plenty of ventilation because of the windows and now because of our added ventilation to the top portion.

Thank you! Let me think about this properly
