Warning: big box store "chicken coops" are a total scam

I stopped by Tractor Supply last weekend and looked at their $400 coop kits and the wood felt like balsa, hinges were already rusting, and the roof was just painted OSB that'll rot in one rainy season. Has anyone else had to completely rebuild one of those kits within the first year?

Got the same $400 kit last spring and replaced the roof with plywood before summer was over. The whole thing felt like it would collapse if I sneezed near it.

Yeah @jana179 I feel you, that roof swap is basically a rite of passage with those kits.
