Ok I'm looking to sell a coop I'm building and I have no idea what's a fair price for this coop? It's 5'x3' with 6 nesting boxes it's not done yet but it will be off the ground a foot or two please someone let me know something

Start with the price you paid to buy all the materials then add about $50-$200 for labor

How do you like that for a surface? I have to power wash the new shed and white wash it with BYC Member Pigeon Guys whitewash solution to kill every creepy crawly that shouldn't be in there.. There is a pretty solid little ant infestation in there. Then I was wondering what I should put down on the floor. Glass board, paint, or was even thinking of stall mats.. I remember reading somewhere on here people weighing in on that. Have to do a search.

What is your favorite flooring that you have used for your coops?

You might save yourself a trip and call your source....I usually go to TSC but could never find it stocked. Finally asked and they said they didn't sell that much of it so the didn't re=supply unless asked. There is a place and label on the shelf....just no bottle! LOL But, I did go ahead and order some so I could have it if I needed it. I just wasted 3 weeks by not asking when I didn't find it the first time.

Poultry Protector has been around for a while. It's a great hidden secret. My feed store only had one bottle we chanced to try a few years back. We came back to the feed store to buy their one bottle on the shelf and the clerk asked if it was any good. I wouldn't keep buying it if it wasn't I said. Next time I returned to the store they not only stocked several bottles of Poultry Protector but several other products from the same manufacturer. Poultry protector also comes in larger refill bottles but I've only seen those larger sizes online.

No flooring. Just dirt. Our custom pre-built coop came with an open bottom so we set it on paver stones and lifted it a little higher on wood skids leftover from our house remodel. I like the dirt because it makes for a softer landing when the birds jump to the ground from the nestboxes when not using the ramp. Amish coops come with an optional plastic floor liner that we are considering if we go with a Quaker coop next time.

That coop is simply amazing.
