So I found a coop on Craigslist. He will deliver it for me. He originally wanted $1000 but is willing to take $300 – and obviously has had no other bites because he changed his ad to $300 too.
This one includes the chickens and feeders and waterers etc.
I have all the materials (except the windows and hardware cloth) to build a coop.
Should I just wait and build my own perfect coop?
We had the same delima until just yesterday. My husband has decided to build a version of the chicken ark http://handcraftedcoops.com/
We have only three chicks and they should be ready to move into their new home in one to two weeks. We couldn’t find an affordable coop anywhere online that suited our needs. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
thanks! It wasn’t even a thought until this one popped up on craigslist. I just know how expensive hardware cloth is and thoguht there’s probably almost $300 of it in this run as it is!
take it!!
I haven’t got approval from the man yet. Also, the seller wants it gone tomorrow, but we leave Thursday am for Portland. It wouldn’t be fair for the chickens to then be gone for the week, and leave my mother in law with two kids and some probably freaked out chickens. I told him that if he still had it when I got back we’d chat.
