Downsizing the flock, so this coop needs a new home.

We're cutting back on birds and don't need all this housing anymore. Our flock lived better than some people I know, and this coop is ready for yours. It's built for North Dakota winters. Use it as a coop again, or clean it out for storage, a workshop, a goat shed or a kids' clubhouse.

Custom-ordered from Northland. You won't find this one sitting on a sales lot. The same build, delivered, is $11,570 new from Northland today. It was built as a coop from the ground up:

- Heavy-duty floor: 2x6 treated floor joists at 12" on center, topped with 3/4" green treated plywood

- 3" of spray foam insulation under the floor. That option alone is over $1,300 new, and it keeps the birds warm all winter.

- LP SmartSide walls and LP ProStruct roof sheathing, both with SilverTech radiant barrier, to cut summer heat and hold warmth in winter

- Two 24x36 insulated single-hung windows with tilt-in bottom sashes, so it's easy to clean and to open for summer air

- Ridge vent plus gable vents for airflow that keeps moisture and frost down

- Four chicken doors: one on the front, one on the back and one on the side, with hinged, latching covers. Open whichever doors face your run.

- Roost ladder under the windows so the birds get a morning view

- Commercial-style red nesting boxes mounted along the wall

- Wide double doors with an aluminum threshold, so you can drive a wheelbarrow straight in

- Charcoal metal roof, textured white panel siding and charcoal trim that looks sharp in any yard

$8,000. The same build is $11,570 new, delivered.
