Coop Recommendations

Coops etc.

This is probably in here but I just joined the group. At my wits end searching for a coop for my small flock of 6 (first time chicken parent). My five week old babies are quickly getting too big to be in their pen in the garage. I bought a recommended coop off amazon and it was comically small. The reviews I read for coops that aren’t a bajillion dollars all say the same - “it says 6-8 chickens but really only fits 2 max”. Does anyone have real life advice/recommendations?

  1. FTR my husband and I can build premade furniture all day long but neither of us are carpenters so building our own from scratch is out of the question. Wish one of us was good at it but shop class was a nightmare for me and he’s a great electrician but can’t make a square box to save his life.

  2. We have a 10x13x6.5’ covered run that this will be built inside of, with plenty of predator protection. They just need a place to lock up and sleep/nest at night and will free range when we’re outside with them.
