What I want, cheap, easy to move, able to walk in, nesting boxes, roosting bars, durable.... So in other words.. I want it ALL!!!!

I bought the 5 by 6, smaller model, as a senior lady, I can move it!
I love mine!

Yes, best is very subjective. Cost, easy to move, easy to clean, secure from critters, automated doors and able to have large feeders and watering systems for low maintenance. Big enough for deep litter. Type of land you have. Athletics for a backyard coop. So on and so forth. This was very helpful

imho, "The Best" coop is the one that gets someone started in raising their own eggs and poultry at home. I get just as excited hearing someone's story of their fist chicken flock, As I do meeting an Alumi-Coop owner. When someone calls me looking for a coop and if during the conversation we decide the Alumi-Coop doesn't fit the need or help reach the goal. the conversation will pivot into finding another solution. It is more important to me that folks get started on the road to being more self-sufficiency and resilience than buy one of my coops.

Wow, this Alumi-Coop looks amazing! 🐔💪 I’ve been experimenting with various DIY chicken coops myself, and it’s great to see a comparison of what works best. The pros and cons you shared are super helpful. Just might be giving this portable coop a try. Thanks for the detailed review!

In regards to Justin Rhodes' chicken shaw. It's a great idea and it works. Man is a creature who can take an existing concept and adapt it to their specific needs at a particular time.

I love my 6x10 Alumi Coop! They are really expensive but I think my back is worthy. I am 5'2 with lower back issues, but I can move that coop easily. Those coops are really lightweight (I can move it with one hand) and easy to assemble. I got mine from a hardware store near Bird-in-hand, PA while visiting my in-laws. I'm glad the rental place only had mini vans that weekend, the large box fitted perfectly in the minivan. I haven't see one in NC yet. I knew about those coops because you can see them all around Amish backyards in that area. I asked a friend and he told us where to buy them. GREAT coop is you can afford it.

7:08 to take it the next level I’ve been happy with the Peterson Chicken Tractor where it is 8x8 and only 36inches high. It is made with 2x3 lumber and the tarp roof is very easy to remove when using wiggle wire hardware. It also has roost bars 3 inches off the ground to help chickens get up out of flooded areas until you can move them

[muddyshoesgardener]

Nice coverage. Thanks! How do you keep your flock warm?

[miaensuacre]

I wish I can have the amount of subscribers that you guys have to get free stuff like that coop, to review lol... I love you guys. I've been following Carolyn for years. She was my canning teacher and still enjoy each one of your videos. GOD bless you!

The husband and I will be making a chicken coop - it’ll definitely turkey be mobile!

[paulcourts]

I scrolled the blog 3 times but couldn't find the link to look at their website.

[tb]

That's awesome! I can see why it's expensive, because of all that it includes. I want one.

Edit: I can't get one now, but maybe at some later time when I can have chickens (I'm living in a town that doesn't allow them).

[arthurquintana]

Do you leave your chickens out in those coops over the winter?

[tunneleddiscovery]

I wish I had the kind of cash as a backyarder. 😢

[laurelanderson]

So, from what I am gathering, since cost is not listed and the only contact is a phone number in the blog this is a situation only for the "money is no option/obstacle" folks 😊

[billierichter]

Just so I'm not missing anything...the Alumi-coop doesn't have its own website, correct?

[boymama]

Considering the cost of lumber I don’t feel they are priced that bad. Shipping costs might get ya though.
