I have decided to give into my wants and get backyard chickens!!! Exciting news I tell ya. I always thought I had to wait for one of my very skilled bothers or dad to build me a coop. Then I stumbled upon a plethora of already built affordable options online.
This coop is currently the front runner due to its cute and functional design and reasonable price. I realize as the chicks grow it will need a bigger outdoor run but that is easy enough to accomplish with some posts and chicken wire that even I can (hopefully) succeed at constructing.
This is another option but just seems like it’s a little too basic.
I really like the look of this coop but it is several hundred dollars more than the above coops and out of stock so I would have to wait until mid June. The poor chicks would be skirting death daily at the whims of Aeisha until then. No dice.
Right now I am love love loving this coop and run in the green. Swoony. But it’s also a small fortune for a backyard coop so possibly a silly purchase? I could purchase just the coop and build the run. But even the coop alone is much more than the others…
Any suggestions or thoughts? Do I go with the first coop and call it good? I can only have about four chickens since I live in town. Therefore no need for a big fancy coop. I’ll leave that for my parents and the other lucky ducks that live in the country. I’m just excited to embark upon this adventure.

Yay! You are getting the chickens! I think all of those coops are cute, they certainly do get fancy. Talk about chicken dream houses!
