I was searching everywhere for best value chicken coops. What i found was around that price was really low quality and it won't last.  but ebay seem to have a lot around 120 - 200.
if your good with DIY, my materials cost me around 60 quid and this could have been done much cheaper as i chose thicker wood than was needed (i want it to last) and after reading on here for a few weeks, i have built it too big for what i need. ( its 5 foot hight and 4ft width )

We have one of those Ebay integrated house/run and have been well pleased with it.  They only hold two chickens comfortably though - maybe three if they aren't big stonking things.  Great for Bantams!  You could probably have 4 or 5 of them in one.  It was easy to construct, no gaps, very nice.  So nice, infact, that we purchased a second one to attach to the first so we could have four large chickens.  The hens are coming over Easter break.  Oh!  And the house/run arrived in three days' time! 
When I die I will slide in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, screaming, "Whooo hooo!  What a ride!" as life is to be enjoyed to the fullest!

We got our coop from ebay. It cost about £90, is wooden, sits on legs so off the ground, was really easy to assemble and is very simple to keep clean and the girls love it  ::) (I have 5 in it comfortably).

Do they live in it 24/7 Susu?
Or do they have free range during the day?

I think alot of the problems from what I've read/seen with the above runs is that they have adequate sleeping quarters but not enough room in the run area.

Sarah :D

Hi R and S- no it's just a house for sleeping in. They have a big run and also free range in the garden wherever possible  ::)
