Prefab coop... can I get my hopes up?

[aart]

I'm trying to get feedback on if this is my ONLY option because of space concerns and other family members.

Please provide a link to this products we can see the details.
Are you a minor living with your parents?

My run is 2 of the dog kennels. I did put 4 feet of hardware cloth around the bottom 3 sides, 4th side is the coop.

As for prefab coops, I have back history of construction. Honestly I've yet to see one I would suggest to an enemy. They all seem to be undersized and built with subpar materials. By the time you modify one to even be somewhat good you might as well just built one from scratch.

Thanks for the helpful responses everyone! I'll do some more looking at plans, as well as contacting a farm in the area that sells coops. I've looked at their stuff before, but I'll do some more looking and thinking lol

Might work.
Needs a very sturdy roof to hold up to snow load...which can be challenging.
And chain link usually needs significant reinforcement with smaller holed mesh.

Still need link to coop.....I suspect it's rather small.

Highly suspect.
No interior views.
No dimensions for the coop itself.

Oh 6 chickens my butt. The run alone will only hold MAYBE 2, probably just 1. Which means the coop itself will probably only hold half a chicken. Not sure what half you want to let sleep outside.

True Dat!!
Glad I'm not the only one willing to tell it like it is.

Coop Run Interior: 24.41″D x 45.28″W x 29.53″H

Crap you would be better off putting the chickens in the cardboard box a refrigerator comes in.

Probably hold up better too!

I have to be careful. I've had some comments deleted before.
