About $700 and some salvage for the materials. Too many hours.

Lots of definite predator concerns when you have chickens. Though a full grow hen has zero to worry about from domestic cats.
The only predator we had problems with were hawks. They were taking 1-3 a year. We got geese. They instantly fixed that problem. Hawks hate geese and won't go anywhere near them. Free grass mowing, guard dogs, giant eggs. Geese are the best investment.
