I want to buy a small prefab coop for a sectioned off area of my run for integrating chicks/hospital wing, etc. There as so many on the market that are flimsy, etc. Has anyone bought a pre-made one that’s worth the money? Don’t want to break the bank. I don’t have time to build one from scratch. Thanks
 
Not quite what you asked for, but maybe a dog crate with a tarp over it? You would have to replace the tarp regularly, but dog crates often last fairly well.
 
Not sure how big of a unit you're looking for, but I recycled my Urban Coop Company prefab into a chick brooder/isolation cage: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/short-on-time-recycle-a-prefab-brooder.73985/ . It's held up pretty well even though I never bothered painting or sealing it, as it's made of cedar, but the style is no longer manufactured.

Some rabbit hutches are pretty similar in style, so you could possibly consider a hutch as well.

Thank! This is exactly what I’m looking for.
