Im looking to build my first coop in july, its gonna be for about 30 chicken and i was looking for a good design, I have a buget of under $500. can you guys maybe post some pics or a link to pics of you coop and how much it cost you to build?
Thanks in advance.
 
Search the coop designs here. Several people made their coops entirely out of recycled/free materials, including a couple out of recycled pallets.
I built my coop 2 summers ago. It is 8'X8' (not nearly big enough for 30 chickens) and, even with using as much free/scavenged materials as I could, it cost me about $600. Good luck!
 
You are going to need a min of 120sq ft for the coop or 10x12 minimum over 300sq ft outside in the run minimum

You can get one of those tin sheds from HomeDepot. for about $300 Wire is going to run you another $100+ So will lumber for the run.
