I saw one of those "Star Plate building systems" yesterday whilst browsing some chicken website...and I was wondering if they are worth the $70 or so? And if anyone's used them?
I'm toying with the idea of building a second coop for more chickens & my ducks...originally, I was going to go with a three sided shelter for the ducks & a smaller coop with a liftable lid for my chickens--but hubby thinks those will be "ugly."
We went to Home Depot last Sunday and the price of plywood has gone from $7.88 for the 3/4" stuff to $5.18
So now--I'm trying to decide what to do? I don't have a ton of $$ to spend (actually, like NONE) and I do have some of the wood, probably all of the roofing & some of the cement supports already...but I don't want to exceed $150 or so on the building itself and the fencing I want will run me about $250....
