What are you willing to pay?

Your coop design is sweet. What got me though was looking at your spreadsheet.

I love it. Great job! That's definitely worth a couple thousand.

There is a site called free-cycle, where if you keep an eye out people give away items like large dog crates. This is how we kept and transported our gang of 12 when they were young. If our 12 fit it temporarily your 7 shoul be okay for awhile.

My husband built our coop and we used a lot of materials we had around but when you factor in how many hours he spent andvwhatbhe normally charges per hour it comes to an $8000 coop...haha...he really enjoys his projects.

That being said when I first looked for coops to buy I was thinking of spending $400-700 for 4-5 LF hens. When I saw the coops in person they were so tiny and looked like such a rip off.

When I look at your coop with the size, design, features, etc. I would pay at least $1500 but I am know for being a tightwad.

We actually got a lot of our ideas from your great coop. You can see pics in our blog.

Maybe you can design something a bit smaller for the smaller flock owner like me who may not be quite ready to commit to a $2000 investment and 15 chickens...like a $800 coop for 5-6 chickens. We have a local builder that sells in the $700-1200 range and the coops are cute but tiny.
