Retired and looking to raise a few chickens

I agree almost allof coops you can buy that are prebuilt are flimsy and tiny. If you exceptions would be something local if you have Amish built or similar, but they’re not cheap either. There’s a section in the learning center on this site showing hundreds of coop builds. If you’re handy to build one yourself I’m not so I bought a small shed. Cut extra windows into it for ventilation covered them with hardware cloth and have a great coop that I can walk in to clean and collect eggs.

Nice to have you here!
As previously recommended check out the coop section…. Lots of ideas for small, medium or large coops. Repurposed, built from scratch, prefabricated- and anything in between.
Sometimes folks list used coops on facebook marketplace, sometimes you come across a used shed that can be converted.
Your climate, space, the number of chickens you want are factors to consider. Ask questions
