Hello BYC community!
Anyone have any experience with a prefabricated coop and then modifying with your own run? I'm in an Urban (Chicago) environment and need a coop suitable for 4 large breed chickens. I would like an attached run but have not had much luck finding anything that is both asthetically pleasing and the size that I'm hoping for. I love "the garden coop" (www.thegardencoop.com) and think it would be perfect for my chickens and would fit the look of my backyard but am intimidated by the construction, I have zero experience building anything besides 6 inch tall lincoln log houses.
My other option is to place an add on craigs list looking for someone with chicken experience to pay to put together a coop for me.
I hope to have the chicks at the end of February (got my brooder setup ready) so my coop clock is ticking!
