I like the creativity, these are really cute, someone in a suburbqn setting would especially appreciate the cuteness! I love the idea of a chicken village with them visiting, hahaha~

I love the blue one.

I was originally looking to get their barn shaped one, but eventually I decided it was more cute than practical. Probably should have gotten it though, the one I ended up getting was NOT cute, but not really practical either...

Cute! Until you began to use it, and it started to stink from the lack of ventilation, and you discover how difficult it is to get in there to clean it out....

Why oh why does no one build prefab coops that are really suitable for chickens!?

Take a look a Royal Outdoor sheds/Rubbermaid/Suncast sheds....they are prefab and require some assembly but so much easier than building! We love ours since we had to move and three times the shed was moved and dismantled, it has done very well! And going strong at seven years!

But what about ventilation? I wouldn't imagine it would be terribly easy to cut the necessary ventilation panels out of a vinyl shed.

My coop is made from a 6x8 vinyl shed that is on an 8x8 platform. the doors open up to the 2 ft of extra platform and I enclosed this 2 ft space with 2x2s and wire and a door. I can shut the shed doors(storm doors) if the weather calls for it, but for the most part, the doors stay open (lots of ventilation). I also used a large bit and drilled lots of ventiation holes along the tops of the walls. I cut a small hole out of the side that leads to their run. I have electricity in the coop and run a small fan on a timer in the summer.
