Hello all!!
I've been reading and reading and reading about building coops, and about where NOT to buy coops from, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Amish built coops? They're far more expensive than most online, and more than it would be to make ourselves, but my carpentry ability extends to nailing 12"x8' boards together to make my raised garden beds....I could probably make something that would resemble a chicken coop...but it wouldn't be pretty...and pretty is a requirement...
So, has anyone used Amish built coops, or do you know of other pre-fab coops that are nice?
I live in OH, so I'm in the middle of Amish country, and I plan to go coop-shopping tomorrow. Its also important that the coop be solid and sturdy due to our crazy fluctuating temperatures (Summers can stay high-90s/low 100s for weeks, but winters, like this one we just had, can stay single digits for weeks)
Thanks!!
