Looking for Chicken Coop

Recommended Posts

Looking for a chicken coop for 6-8 chickens or contact of someone who can build one for reasonable price. I know I can build one myself but just super busy with other projects at the moment. 

Located in Flagstaff but have a truck and could pick it up. 

Any leads would be very appreciated.

 

Thank you.

And the eggs? Try raising turkeys. Fewer eggs, but they are big, and harder to crack. One Tom and two hens, with you chickens would work.

Just buy rotisserie chickens from Costco.

This is mostly for eggs, worst case if they become too much they'll end up in the smoker. Those are some nice coops. Do you have any experience with this company?

You'll have to insulate and heat for the winter?

probably insulate but i don't think i will need to heat, from what i read if you get the right breed they should be good as long as the coop does not collect condensation

They're pretty tough birds but will stop laying in extreme weather.

Really nice looking coop! Top notch for looks. Mine is an old large outhouse looking thing. Raised a lot of birds, recovered a lot of eggs. Nothing like real (fertilized) eggs with slightly orange yolks.

Hens stop laying with shorter days. Leave a light on and they'll keep going or kick back in. Cold, like extreme heat, stresses the bird making it more susceptible to disease and or causing hypothermia and thus death.

Good nutrition and clean water are obviously also very important.
