mommyoffive Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Are there any good chicken coops I can buy online? Any ones that you have gotten and liked? Quote

Oh that would have lots if we could. But in our town we can only have 6. Quote
MeaganS Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) We did the storage shed thing too. It worked really well. We did one of those rubbermade type sheds. It was only ever meant to go for 2 years because we knew we'd move, but it would easily have lasted longer. I would probably modify it a bit, but it worked. We did it because we lived somewhere very cold and they couldn't go out a lot of the year. In order to get a really good chicken coop, you have to spend a fair amount of money. There are a lot of cheap ones you can buy, but most are pretty flimsy and/or small. We built a Garden Coop (you've probably seen plans online) and really love it, but it did take a good amount of work. For someone who really wanted a "nice" coop and didn't want to DIY it, I'd probably recommend the Eglu. Or looking on craigslist for used ones that people have made that look solid. We can only have 4 chickens in our city. So if you ask me, that's how many I'll tell you we have. 😉 Edited April 2, 2020 by MeaganS 1 Quote
