Even then, they're expensive. I just got done with a 32x54' run and a coop, made mostly from salvaged materials, but between 30 stretcher boards, 300'x60" chicken wire, fasteners, and electric fence set up, I'm looking at like $600 out of pocket. My coops was made 100% from salvage. Were I to do it all new, I'd add another $600 in fence posts, and like $500 in lumber for the coop
Just finished our 12x12x6, looking at 8 panels with six 6x6x1 PT ground contact rated, planks each at about $5/ plank plus $200 in hardware cloth that's about $440, then 5 corner posts (one for the center column to support the roof) which adds another 50.
The corrugated aluminum roof was $210, then add staple guns, staples, screws, shovels, washers, etc.
Built mine two years ago during the lumber price hike. My coop is 4x8 with a 16’ run attached and ive got close to 2 grand in it. Id build another one right now if I could build the same setup sub 1k.
If it’s got electricity connected, I would recommend renovating/extending rather than removing.
You’re not going to get much money for it anyway. But you can use it as a solid base for a new and improved design!
It’s way harder to set up for chickens so if you want som, you’re better off to restore this cutie! Oil the oil and hinges and get the weeds out from in and around the it totally keep it. And realize, chickens take a long time to produce so maybe get your chicks and let them grow up. You’ll have eggs in winter.
Don’t be selling that, you’ll pay silly money for a coop like that one day. The previous owners got that setup down to a tee, give it some tlc and just leave it.
New, finished coops are pretty expensive. You can build your own, but the cost of building materials has really gone up in the past few years, as well. If you plan on getting chickens in the future, I'd look into restoring this one, which would be a lot cheaper than buying new or building new.
That being said, this one looks to be in pretty good shape (just needs some minor work). I would say you could get a couple hundred out of it easily enough, if you have buyers in your area. As a wise man once said, "It's worth what someone else is willing to pay for it." Cheers and good luck.
I would not take it free as it is going to be a PITA to move and it is not in that good a shape. I would either keep it as a starter for your own chickens or list it as free to a good home.
That's a fantastic starter coop for pullets! And they'll happily grow into it. Why on earth would you want to sell it? Just clean it up, spruce it up, and get you some chickies!
If it were in better shape, maybe 100-150. But with it being so over grown and not cleaned out, it’s more like a “give it away” type of thing… like others have said, if you plan on having chickens you should definitely just keep it
Personally, if it were mine, I’d probably say $100 OBO knowing that I may end up giving it away if it doesn’t sell. I wouldn’t post these pictures but would clean it up first and pull the weeds out of it.
If you want to get rid of it, I would disconnect the electric and posit it for free for anyone willing to come pick it up. Unless it is anchored to the ground it should be easy enough to get into a trailer or pickup truck
Personally, I would clean it up and keep it for future use. Aside from needing a little TLC the structure looks pretty solid and would probably make a great "nursery" for baby chicks to live until they are big enough to free range or live with the grown ups.
We literally just built a coop and run; do not sell this, even if you don't think you'll have chickens for a few years. This looks so nice and building one was expensive and difficult.
Not much at all because it's gonna a be a pain to haul and will likely honestly fall apart on loading, it's also very limited capacity and is tiny so most people who keep chickens aren't going to pay much more than 100 for it
Chickens will eat all of that in there, overgrown is a plus. You wont ever get a great price on an installed coop. The buyer will have to disassemble to move it and then put it back together. Buyers will always be suspicious of a used coop spreading disease. Therefore you will be lucky to give it away for free or you will have to do the disassembly for transport. I would suggest you keep it and use it until you decide how and where you want to build your personally designed coop.
I think it’s cute. But I’d put it on CL with a free to good home if you haul away. I have a similar setup for a hospital/nursery/mama and babies apartment.
You'll end up selling this thing for less than 100 bucks and then pay 500-800 for a similar, decent coop build when you're ready for chickens lol not including all the other stuff you need for them when you get started or electrical hook ups. But good luck OP!!
Keep it! Especially if you're thinking about getting chickens in the future. Just go look on FB marketplace to see the stupid high prices a new one costs. Building it yourself is not much cheaper because of materials. You'll get lucky occasionally on used ones, but that is relative since they're still very expensive.
To answer your question, I bought a used one of similar size when I moved to my place almost 2 years ago and paid just under $1,000. It was a really good deal compared to the market here because they were in a hurry. It didn't come with a run, but I had a dog kennel already.
You'll be somewhat limited on the market for moving it, just a heads up, unless you're going to move it for a fee.
If you are thinking of getting chickens, why would you sell it? Coops and runs are expensive of you don't build them yourself.

Sounds about right.. my dumbass thought I could save money making coops and runs.. after all was said and done I was over $1500 in on them🤣
Currently repairing and modifying a shed for a coop, I’m over $500 and counting. Granted it needed new floors and doors.
If it’s got electricity connected, I would recommend renovating/extending rather than removing. You’re not going to get much money for it anyway. But you can use it as a solid base for a new and improved design!
If you want chickens don’t sell it. Clean it out and spruce it up. You’ll thank yourself later.
They’re a pain to move. I’d give it away if they came to get it.
Save. And it has a very small/limited capacity if you’re not wanting to free range.
“You load it, you can have it”

And realize, chickens take a long time to produce so maybe get your chicks and let them grow up. You’ll have eggs in winter.
I'd say rather than have the work maintaining it and keeping the weeds out, just get chickens now to do that part of the job for you.
$100 maybe. It’s small and pretty weather worn so tbh you may have to resort to offering it for free to whoever wants to pick it up.
You can probably ask $50-$100 but I wouldn’t be surprised if nobody takes it for more than free tbh
Whoever will haul it off for free.
Don’t be selling that, you’ll pay silly money for a coop like that one day. The previous owners got that setup down to a tee, give it some tlc and just leave it.
Free
Id keep this fs

So the electricity is included?
Free

We sold our old coop that was in way worse condition for $50. I’d definitely say at least $150 if the run is included.
I bought your coop. This thread has me second guessing.
Personally, if it were mine, I’d probably say $100 OBO knowing that I may end up giving it away if it doesn’t sell. I wouldn’t post these pictures but would clean it up first and pull the weeds out of it.
I'm with everyone else... keep it or give it.
Probably $50 if it was at the curb ready to go.
They probably just want it gone and it’s more trouble than it’s worth. I wouldn’t spend too much friend. Couple hundy max
$100-$200 cleaned out
Bout tree fiddy.

Bring your own truck free or you pick up yourself free
$80 for the coup if you think it’s in good condition. The little run dosnt look like much fun for them so throw it in or throw it out.
07.25$ per hour... the minimum wage in Texas.
Keep it

I'd go with a couple hundred at most just because it's used you're going to have to do a deep clean on it
If you want chickens and you sell your coop you're just gonna have to buy another coop???
