Producer's Pride Defender Extra-Large Chicken Coop, 18 Chicken Capacity

It’s durable we just put mesh on it to make it as save as possible.

Overall pretty good except there are some gaps in the coop and when it rains it gets wet inside so we have to cover it with a tarp.

Verified Buyer We purchased the Producer’s Pride Defender Extra‑Large Chicken Coop and are very pleased with it. This is a solid, well‑built coop that clearly stands above many others in the same category. The materials are sturdy and durable, and once assembled the coop feels stable and secure. It’s obvious it was designed with real chicken owners in mind. The extra‑large size is accurate — there’s plenty of space for our flock to move comfortably, roost, and access the nesting boxes without crowding. Assembly was straightforward for a coop of this size. Instructions were clear, parts were labeled, and everything fit together correctly without needing modifications. The ventilation is well placed, providing good airflow without creating drafts, and cleaning access is convenient and practical. We’ve already had some wind and rain, and the coop has held up very well. The latches and overall construction give confidence that it will stand up to weather and predators. Overall, this is a high‑quality coop that feels built to last, not a temporary or flimsy solution. We’re very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtfully designed coop from a brand they can trust.

This coop gets absolutely flooded in the mildest rain. There are so many doors and they almost all have gaps. We now just use this coop as a dog run to keep our crazy farm dogs away from the chickens when we allow them to free range. We use a different coop + run for our flock.
