Tractor Supply Walk-In Prairie House Chicken Coop

[Cluckcluck1215]

I looked it up.

Its this one right?

The house is only maybe 4x5 feet. They claim 12 to 15 chickens........ Um NO.

There are better ways to spend your money.

You do know that if you do decide to build the great folks on here will help walk you through it right?

If you do decide to build draw it out on graph paper.

I know you said you don't have building skills so likely no tools.
Just throwing ideas out there.
The plastic garden shed is a great idea by the way.

Yes.
First of all....I DO understand that it cannot fit 15 chickens. We are getting 6-8 Bantams, AT MOST.


Nope, I don't have tools.

Have her read this thread?

My sister is young, and has troubles reading. Even if she reads this she won't believe me.

Would the Walk-Red Red Barn Chicken Coop be better, or no?

Have you read the reviews on TSC?

I think if you're going to go with a prefab, @Soon2BChixMom found you the best one:

I have been talked out of using a resin shed since I have no shade and they apparently get super hot - more so than a regular shed.
We all have gifts and for some of us construction is not one of them. However, maybe the OP can find someone to help who does have the skills. The prefabs have a place, and I think it works for some and those who aren't sure how far they want to dive into the hobby.

Unfortentally, no one I know has any sort of building skills.

That ones alright, I guess...
But after some searching I really like this one:https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/coops-feathers-walk-in-hen-coop?cm_vc=IOPDP1

My sister said she doesn't like that one the Soontobechoxmom posted. She likes the Prarire one, and the Coop and Feathers one.

Look guys I don't want this to be made into a huge big thing..

I adore chickens and I give them the best care possible, and all my sister wants is a cute little coop for 5 or 6 bantams...Thats all.

I just want to make sure the coop(s) is safe enough for our birds.

You asked for advice...we are trying to help.
Who is buying the coop?
Who will take responsibility of the coop and the birds?
