Agreed! I bought my first chicks from McMurray hatchery, Jersey Giants and was pleased with the experience but have long since realized that there's a huge difference in quaity between hatchery and good private breeder stock.

there are plenty! but they are all at least (the usable ones) 50 years old serously, they are NOT sudible to a chicken.

I would be willing to bet they would make excellent coops. Unless they are structurally unsound, with a little work I would think they would be fine.

one is ready to coloapse any second, and the others have lots of dust (they used to house calfs in the 80's) and some have lots of chemicals in them that are very old.the barn itself is about 85 years old and is very dusty!
