Chicken Coop with Chicken Run For Up To 4 Chickens

Cute coop! I put it together by myself (on my front porch!) it tolerated a nice snowfall. Waiting to place it in the yard, as I’m waiting on warmer temps to get my first set of quail chicks. Like the color and size. Certainly would get easierfaster installation with a helper! Do recommend this coop.

This chicken coop was easy to assemble, and arrived in a 75 lb. shipping box. The wood used to make this coop is really soft and chips or cracks easily if not careful over-torquing. I'm not convinced that it is "solid wood" as described. The QA could be better. For example, there was a handmark smear on the pull-out tray (see picture). And the roof cap was partially disassembled during shipping, but I was able to use wood glue to secure it back together. This coop took me exactly 1 hour to assemble using a power drill. About 10 minutes just removing the pieces out of the boxes and another 10 minutes disassembling the box and content for recycling. The parts are inconsistently labeled, with many pieces missing part designation label altogether. It's easy to figure out which part is which though, using the illustrated assembly guide. This coop is the perfect size for the backyard hen keeper. Because of its built-in dual partitioned nesting box (partition wall is removable), I recommend keeping only two hens, with a maximum of three. The run on the first floor is small, but functional. We have a large yard so our chickens are free range from 6:30 AM until sunset. The coop is used to house three egg laying black Australorp hens. The 3rd hen will have to use the living space / pull-out tray as her nesting ground. I think this coop is pretty well thought out, for what it's worth. The roosting area features a slide out tray which allows for easy clean-up. If you have a washable 21"x21"x1" square plastic tray (look into OUT! PetCare Dog Pad Holder Tray), clean-up will be an absolute cinch. The roof covering the nesting box has a metal lockable slip-key latch to keep out predators. There are three lockable doors; two on the run and one on the side of the living space. The entrance to the coop through the ramp has a slidable door that you can close up when it's time for some shut eyes (be sure to install this in the correct orientation to avoid taking it apart later, like I did!). We placed the coop over a shaded small grassy patch area adjacent to our garage. Transporting the coop is easy with the built-in handle and casters. The paint is definitely on the thin and low quality side, so I'll definitely repaint it with weatherproof paint down the line. The asphalt-style roof is just a bunch of tiny rubber fragments glued onto the roof. It flakes off easily and a substantial amount will fall out of the shipping box as you remove the pieces for assembly.

It’s a wonderful starter chicken coop. It was easy to assemble, fits together nicely, and the quality is what you would expect for the low price. I painted it to match my house and give it a good weatherproof coating before assembling. I have four small breed chickens and it suits them well. The run itself is too small for a all day-everyday situation (in my opinion) but this works for me because I let them free range during the day.

Im quite pleased with this coop. I had been looking for some time. The price was good for the size that it is. And Im glad I ordered when I did. It went together pretty easily for 2 novices that really didnt know what they were doing. And the quality seems solid. Ill move my chicken tonight. I think she will like it just fine. Its much bigger than the first one she had. Very please!

The picture is very deceiving. The measurements are also off. This is more for one chicken. My chickens are two months old and it was just right for them. It will not be good once full grown.
