Overez chicken coop or eglu cube?

What about lancaster chicken coops?

http://www.lancasterchickencoops.com/ Is this what you're talking about?

Most of those pre-fab coops are way to small. You say you are getting 3-4 chickens, but you may be forgetting how powerful chicken math is! Best to get something that has twice as much room as you need, walk in if possible, and something that you can expand on if need be. I like the concept of the Eglu, but agree, for the same money you could build something pretty fabulous!

I could always get the overez large chicken coop. But is there any other prefab chicken coops that people recommend?

Generally if you don't want to build, the ways to do it are with coops from building/shed places like the one linked above, hiring someone that builds chicken coops, or hiring a building guy (is the word contractor? I"m blanking) to build one. Prefabs aren't the way to go, as they are tiny, often use very low quality materials, and are usually not predator proof. You get waay more bang for your buck if you go with a different option.

Here are some other coops I am considering.

Are you sanging I should get it from lancaster coops or even modify a shed?

I think that modifying a shed is a great idea. I think that any private building company (lancaster coops, carolina coops, etc) (search 'custom sheds near me' and most companies do coops as well) will be pricy but give you an easy, high quality coop.

Eglu coop-not ideal at all, but ok if you get the largest sizes
Over EZ chicken coop- one of the best prefab coops, but still not perfect
the Moop-far too small, looks like a PITA to clean
Cutest coops-looks great!
egg cart'n- too small in all aside from the chalet. You'd need to add a large run to make it work, but looks ok.
smartest coops-couldn't find anything on them
wine country coops-look pretty good, but there are no specified dimensions that I can see. When I searched for them 'wine country chicken coop murders' was the auto complete result, which is a bit concerning.

I do already have a shed in my backyard, so I don't want anything to big, maybe I'll do some more reserch on the cutest coops.

Sorry it was the smart chicken coop.
