Producer's Pride Bungalow Coop, 6 Chicken Capacity, White/Black

The coop is cute and so far the right size for our 5 hens. Durability has something to be desired. One latch was broken. But that’s irrelevant because we had to had critter proof locks, the one on the coop is useless. Also, the door to the hen house immediately broke off the hinges and cannot be repaired because it is a solid piece to the wall of the house.

This is a decent box store chicken coop. Assembly is easy enough. Took me about 45 minutes to put it together by myself. It sucks that there isn't a wheel and handle kit. I made one myself out of random things I had in the garage, 1/2 inch steel bar stock, u bolts, washers, cotter pins and a pair of casters I took apart for the wheels. I also made handles out of old bicycle pegs to be able to lift it onto the wheels to move the coop. It is too heavy to be sliding across the ground. (Pics 1 & 2) The nesting box door can over travel when closing, not a huge issue, just leaves about an inch gap if pushed closed too far. I made a stop out of a nut and bolt after drilling a hole. (Pic 3) Overall, I'd recommend with the modifications I made.

Three hinges were completely broken, the wood blocks holding the nesting box dividers were all broken off.

First off, the quality is top-notch. We already have a larger black-and-white version of this coop, and after a year with no issues, I can confidently say the materials are excellent. This particular model works well for smaller chickens, but there are some design flaws worth noting. The biggest issue is the setup of the roosting bars. Unless you can find a way to lower them while still allowing the chickens to move around comfortably, you’ll likely need to remove one. As it stands, the ceiling is too low, which could cause discomfort or injury. The coop door is also very small—I was surprised my Barred Rock chicken could even fit through it. The nesting boxes are quite cramped as well, with limited headroom. Additionally, the latch on the nesting box felt flimsy, so I ended up replacing it with a sturdier option. Another issue is the door for the tray; it’s uneven and leaves a noticeable gap that will need fixing. There’s also room for better ventilation—it really should have come with an additional vent. Overall, while the build quality is solid, the design needs improvement. I think a more reasonable price would be in the $250–$300 range until these issues are addressed.
