It's cute
on May 18, 2014
Posted by: Amy V.
This item is cute but has some areas that could use improving.
1) there are not enough locks on the doors to make the coop predator proof. We added 2 more locks.
2) the roost bar sits too low on the poop pan making using any floor covering other than saw dust practically useless.
3) the wood was pretty soft.
4) the bottom of the nesting box just sits down in there. We bolted it down so a predator can't just push up on it & get my girls. This item is cute but has some areas that could use improving.This item is cute but has some areas that could use improving.

Easy to put together
on June 14, 2019

The wheels are bleh, directions are weird for these and they are just kind of useless. Other than that, it wasnt too bad to put together. Fits one standard sized teen and one bantam teen, so hopefully my future chickens will be happy.

Good quality... Added a roost ladder inside and 2 inch square wire on whole bottom. Time will tell if it is totally fox proof.

Easy set up; highly recommend.

Great little coop! It is easy to set up and light enough to move easily. It fits two chickens and we have been using it as a portable coop to give them some "yard time". :) They love it. Half of it is covered which is a great idea. I would highly recommend this product. :)

Great Coop
on November 5, 2020
Posted by: James G.
Very nice coop. Not difficult to assemble. Labeling the wooden parts with small alphabetical stickers like the different screw packages were would be more helpful to customers and having pre-drilled holes in all the wooden parts would also. I installed a screen bottom to the coop to mitigate predator threat. Still a very nice coop.

Retrofitted to cat house
on October 20, 2020
Posted by: Chelsea
I bought this knowing it would be converted into an outdoor cat house with some simple modifications. I had an existing cat house already, but multiple cats like to use it at the same time and my original was too small. With cold weather in Ohio quickly approaching, I needed to take some shortcuts in building one from scratch- or ordering a custom one from someone else that would have taken weeks and cost twice as much. All of this was taken into consideration when ordering this chicken coop that was then retrofitted into a cat house- basically a starter kit and timesaver.
The structure was simple to put together. Instructions were clear, all hardware was included, everything was pre drilled, and everything fit where it should. It took me probably 30 minutes to put together by myself.
To make this more weather proof for Ohio winters, I did also caulk around the seams, and painted the whole structure. This will be stored on a covered porch- but again, Ohio winters... This will help ensure it is well protected and didn¡¯t take much time- plus then I could customize the colors.
To make this more suited for cats, the following modifications were also done:
Removed the door with the side hinge, and reduce the opening by adding trim pieces (to help prevent larger critters from getting in); added a dividing wall inside with another cutout (plywood); insulated all sides, top, bottom; added outdoor heating mats; added a side access door since they usually like an escape route.

The end result looks nice and is functional. Whether you use this as a chicken coop or something else, I¡¯d still recommend at least caulking the seams to help prevent water from getting in.
I¡¯ve had the cat house outside for 2 days and the outdoor cats have already been using it constantly. I feel confident that with the extra weatherproofing I did upfront, this should last for several seasons. It saved me a lot of time!I bought this knowing it would be converted into an outdoor cat house with some simple modifications.

Extremely easy to put together
on October 19, 2020
Posted by: Ray J.
Extremely easy to put together, though it does come fully disassembled. Took me, a single female, about 30 minutes. Great value for the money. Your chickens would have to have an additional run or free range, this is simply an overnight coop to protect them from predators/elements (and nesting boxes for them to lay eggs in during the day). Very easy to clean, though I put a hinge on the roof instead of nailing it down for easy access to clean. Someone was giving me ten chickens so I bought two of these but each night 8-9 chickens sleep in just one. They range in breed (and therefore size) but this coop definitely fits more than what I expected. Great buy! There are nine chickens in the coop in this photo - one in each nesting box and the. Seven in main body of coop.
