Peter Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi USA, you will be pleased to be getting back into keeping chickens. All my life I have always wanted to keep to them but only got them a year ago after moving to a house with a large garden. Some of the ready made coops I agree are good but expensive, there are others that are cheep which look good but start to fall to bits, especially were I live in Northumberland UK. To keep things cheep I would make it out of OSB practical boards and if coated with a good coat of wood stain it will last a lot longer than the cheep alternatives.
