Buying a used chicken coop second-hand is a great way to save money on housing your backyard flock.
Here are the top 5 ways online that we recommend for buying a used chicken coop in the UK:
#1 Gumtree
#2 Facebook Marketplace
#3 Prevloved
#4 eBay
#5 Secondhand.org.uk
Bonus #1: Supplier Returns
E-commerce chicken coop suppliers often receive returns due to poor finishing or defects. Scrapping returns can be costly. Some retailers will be glad to sell returned goods at a significant discount to offset the inevitable cost of scrapping them.
Example: Egg Shell Online , The Chicken House Company
Bonus #2: Local Forums or Marketplaces
There are local online forums that host a growing community of your neighbours offering great deals of preloved chicken coops. Tap into these online communities as they are often a source of cost savings and unique finds.
Example: WightBay (Isle of Wight), East Dulwich Forum (East Dulwich, London)
Bonus #3: Local Poultry Keeping Clubs
Your local poultry-keeping community or smallholders’ associations will be a treasure trove of used coops. Get connected and ask around for the latest opportunities.
Example: Colchester and Suffolk Poultry Club , Devon Poultry
Bonus #4: Branded Forums
Brands that manufacture their own range of chicken coops sometimes provide user forums. Don’t overlook this useful tip for unearthing great value ‘almost new’ and sometimes ‘un-used’ deals.
Example: Omlet User Forum
