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

Really enjoying this coop and run setup so far for our bantam flock! I think it's the perfect size for a bantam flock for sure! I wouldn't put near as many full size hens in this as it says it can hold. The run is a really good size as well and gives them plenty of room!

This is our first coop, and it’s a great starter coop. We’re not the most handy people, so while building our own coop was probably doable, it seemed like a daunting task — especially while my husband was recovering from surgery. It was fairly simple to assemble, although HEAVY, and we had quite a distance to cover to move it to the back of our property. We did make quite a few modifications, such as: building the coop on a stall mat base, painting the entire coop with an exterior paint, adding hardware mesh to the run to deter predators, caulking the seams of the coop, replacing the roost bars with 2x4s, adding a heavy-duty tarp over the run, adding a solar-powered interior coop light and a solar-powered automatic door. Hoping to increase convenience, longevity, and comfort for our chickens. While the coop does have adequate ventilation, I did debate removing the plexiglass windows and covering them with hardware cloth instead. I would say this coop can comfortably house about 10 chickens. We currently have 4, with plans to add more in the future. I did my research first, and knew I’d need to make some modifications. If I wasn’t aware, I probably would’ve ended up disappointed, especially at this price point. But because I knew what I was getting into before purchasing, I am very pleased overall. Seems like a sturdy coop and run, and it will serve its purpose well.

We've had this coop for a little over a month now and honestly it’s been one of the best additions to our little farm setup. We have multiple chickens plus multiple kids constantly running around, so I needed something sturdy, practical, and easy to maintain and this coop has checked all the boxes. The size is great and comfortably fits our flock with room for them to move around. I love that it feels secure and predator-conscious, especially living in the country where that’s always on my mind. The nesting boxes are convenient to access, cleaning is much easier than I expected, and the ventilation has been great through changing weather. Assembly is fairly easy! Our 14 year old son put it together by himself! I also appreciate that it doesn’t just function well, but it actually looks nice in the yard too. I did add a small wreath and some outdoor lights :) If you’re a beginner chicken owner OR growing your flock, I’d absolutely recommend this coop. It’s given me peace of mind knowing the chickens are safe, comfortable, and have plenty of space. Definitely worth the investment for our family!

This was what I needed. It took me most of the day to assemble and you will need more than one person but not to difficult. The only thing I don't like are the poop trays in the actual coop are a bit difficult to get in and out, but not hard to clean. My chicks seem happy with it and I did notice some gaps but not big enough to give me issues. You will also need to put this on a level surface to be able to attach the coop to the run. Ours isn't perfect but it will do.
