Did you look at the one that posted by SlipsWife? I'm going to get it for my little group of Bantam Cochins.

It looks like it is made by the same (Chinese) manufacturer who made the little dog house that I converted. For the price, I was really happy with it.

Doesn't that need a lot of modifications done to it so that it will work for our heat here?

Minor--just more ventilation. It already has extra space for nest boxes--I don't think the others you are looking at do.

Ok my husband laughs at me. But I gotta ask does anyone else name there favorite hens and roosters or am I the only crazy one?

Mine are all named. I currently only have 6 hens. I think they know their names too.

I like this one too. Looks sturdier. I think if you can place it in the shade you will be fine in the heat. The run is where they spend the majority of the day. I wish I could post pics from my computer. I created a really cheap, safe run that I moved all over my Mom's unfenced backyard. It worked really well. Welded 1x2 wire bent into shape and zip tied together. It was 4x8 and 2 feet tall, but you could make it whatever size you need. Picture an upside down cardboard box out of wire fencing. It had a foot of wire bent out on all sides so an animal couldn't lift and dig under it's sides. I hooked it on to my tractor at the door. I'll try again to post a pic. Not sure why I cannot post a pic to BYC using my computer.

How about this one? It's the same brand as the TS and OverStock one.
