A dirt floor is all right for your coop. A cement floor is easier to clean but is more expensive to install. If you decide on a wooden floor, it will need to be raised about 1 foot off the ground. You can use cement blocks as a foundation for the building. Watch your newspaper for local auctions for used building materials and supplies.
Salvage yards provide good sources for doors, windows and cement blocks.
