Where can I buy, or build a cheap chicken coop?
I recently rescued a chicken from the side of the road. When I asked the farmer about it, he told me I could just keep it; seeing as she doesn't lay eggs anymore, so he was going to just kill her. It was kind of a quick decision, so I really had no time to plan. I would like a cheap kind of chicken coop, or outdoor home for this chicken. (Below 100 dollars). It's only one chicken, and she's quite small. I'd just like her to live out the rest of her life comfortably. :)
Thanks in advanced!

Check you local Craigslist.

for just one hen you could use a dog crate in a fenced in area or use a few pallets as a small shelter or even a cheap rabbit hutch. As long as it is predator proof it should be fine. CHickens are social animals and really should have another chicken to avoid stress.
Pricing the wood you have to buy to make a chicken coop will tell you. Then price one that is already built.
It would probably just be easiest to buy four slabs of wood and nail them together...
you could go to petsmart and see what they have or you can get some wood and build it yourself!
you can make one out of your own poop in africa.
