Would you consider buying this coop? Newbie trying to pick a coop for small flock.

This is such a nice little coop! Very suitable for an urban environment. But I agree with the others- go with the taller one. My four chicks have been in their coop for about a week and I have to stoop over for cleaning. Not so bad now but ask me again in 6 months! haha!

Tractor Supply is having a sale this weekend...10x10x6 dog runs for only $180. Run wire 2x4 welded wire across the top and stick something like this in it: http://www.tractorsupply.com/ware-manufacturing-premium-chick-n-barn-nest-box-kit-1027432 or a large doghouse, as I mentioned early. Much more of a bargain for your birds because they'd have a lot more space.

Go bigger, i just started this year, don't make the mistake of trying to save a few hundred now! I went from thinking $300 for a small flimsy chicken tractor to $1000 but ended up with a really nice coop, and much more durable and safer, than the first idea....I am so glad I spent the xtra $ up front. Watch out for chicken math!!!!!! It strikes even the best intentioned of us.... research research research!!!! The guy I bought mine from said good for 8 chickens, now that I have them in it it's too small, and they have 7.75 sq feet per bird. Plus never believe how many chickens they tell you fit in that coop. If they're confined alot, 38 sq ft is "small" for 4 chickens never mind 9 they're talking. Most layers are fairly large birds, unless your thinking banty.
