I've only got one rooster and two hen chicks. I'm very mechanically inclined, but not strong. I've looked at all the photos and plans for coops, but I'd have to include the cost of buying all of the tools it would take to build my own, into the price of the coop. So, I've been looking for ready-made or diy coops online and found this one. I can get this one for about $370, with a nice cover, but no wire panel on the floor of the run. Then, there's another website that sells the same thing, but they throw in the optional floor panel and it would be $499, so I was thinking I'd buy the cheaper one and put my own wire on the bottom.
My question is...has anybody bought one of these or seen one in person? I have a bit of time before my chicks are ready to be in with the rooster, but winter is coming and I need it by then. What would you do?
Here is the link to the cheaper one:
