I got it from our local country store. Now I work there so if I order another one I would get it at a discount! And its sold as a chicken coop. I just kept my bantam cochins in there this summer when the hawks and coyotes kept taking them.

After going last winter (my first with chickens) with no way for them to get outside, I wanted a covered run area too. Space is very important to free range chickens.

My hubby built a lean to along the whole side of the coop that has the pop door and covered it with heavy plastic. It is about 10 feet wide and 4 feet deep. It's no pretty by any means but gives them another "room" in winter. For right now one end is folded back so they can come and go, but we'll tack that down when the snow hits.
