Our main coop was gonna be built out of scraps of 40" 2x4's and pieces of ply wood so it would be almost free. But no my husband said with a lot of snow or high winds it wasn't a good idea piecing together 2x4's. So... $1000.00 later we have a beautiful coop that will last for many, many years.

Now our new Serama coop, very small, is a old redone rabbit hutch built with all left over everything. The only cost will be 2 latches and the hardwire cloth. All under $30.00.
