If you are looking for chicken coops for sale on the web, where should you go? Well, the most obvious approach is to google it. if you were to type in “chicken coops for sale” in Google, you will get a list of results on the search engine. When I did this, one thing that I noticed, the listings are not what I was looking for.

When I am raising chicken at my home backyard, I want a chicken coop to keep the birds safe and healthy. I don’t want the chicken to be exposed to extreme heat or cold. I also want to prevent predators such as dogs, cats, raccoons, hawks etc from killing them. I want to buy a ready made chicken coop for my backyard.

Most of the result listed on the search engine has “chicken coop design plans“, not the actual coop itself. Here’s another approach you can try if you are planning to buy a chicken house.

Go to EBay.com. On the top left, there will be a search bar. Type in the phrase “chicken coop”. Ebay will give you a listing of all the items which have the words chicken coop on them. The next process is to do some filtering.

The last time I did this, it was in June 2009. There were 138 results listed on EBay. To find actual chicken coops for sale, you want to avoid listings with the word “plan”, “design”, “pictures” etc. These are chicken coop blueprints. One thing that I notice, actual chicken housing costs $30 and above and has the words “Free Shipping”. That make sense because if you were to buy it, you want it to be shipped to your home.

Here’s a great listing that I found, Ultimate Chicken Coop Hen House Poultry 007L with a price tag of $449.00. By the time you read this post, the auction may be over and the link may not be working anymore. No problem, just follow the procedure above and I am sure there will be more listing in the future.
