Do you have any friends or relatives who know how to use power tools? I know it seems really overwhelming, but I promise you can do it if you want to.

You don't have anyone in your family who can do basic sawing or drilling?it’s all kind of overwhelming and it’s just me taking care of them so i don’t know how to do any of that. i’m kind of inexperienced when it comes to building. i think i’ll have to get a new one

my dad is willing to help! i just need to figure out what it has to look like and if it is worth renovating it or getting a new oneYou don't have anyone in your family who can do basic sawing or drilling?
Nothing wrong with getting something new (since you mentioned no building, I can't imagine you're planning on building a coop) but you're going to need to make sure that the replacement doesn't have the same issues as this current one.
thank you! i think i’m going to buy a shed and add some nesting boxes and roosts.If that run is secure enough, I wouldn't worry about them sleeping in the run.
I'm in your region a little further up the hill and overbuilt a fancy coop for my flock - yet ever since adding a few roost bars inside the run, they all prefer to sleep in the run year-round - two different flocks now.
Personally I would say build a new setup and sell that toy coop or modify it into something better. If you don't have experience building stuff, IMO a chicken coop is a perfect project to start with. If you need advice, myself and I'm sure many others here will be willing to help.
Good luck!
You'll need to add ventilation and roosts too.i think i’m going to buy a shed and add some nesting boxes and roosts.
