It is a great coop but with 2 problems. The lesser problem is that any rodent can walk right through the large holes in the run fencing. The more serious problem is the ring lock system. If your coop is in any way not perfectly level (hills of Ohio,Kentucky,Indiana) it will not work. Risk of fatalities. If the door should shut behind you on a hot day while you are cleaning the coop section where they sleep you will have to fit through the small door( impossible). I was lucky and I had the egg gathering door open to let the coop breathe. I didn't have a phone and nobody could hear me. I got lucky. I laughed at myself but its October and I squeezed through the egg door. The ring lock is a thinking out side the box design but literally can trap you in the box it was designed to protect. I will be replacing my locks. Great coop. Horrible locks. I would recall this coop, but Im a preacher.

This is my 3rd time buying this coop. I like to have a new coop when I add a new 15 chicks to my flock. I usually like to keep each flock in a separate coop. This has nice roasting and is very well designed. I do add a board above the testing boxes tho to prevent poop from roosting going inside. Overall a great coop

First time chicken owner. I bought this coop five months ago and it is the best thing ever. My chickens love it, it is enough room for me to go in and clean thoroughly but enough room for 12 of my chickens to sleep in easily. I did extend my run for my chickens, but everything is so durable, and secured. Nothing will get through my coop.

We have four chickens and overall, we’ve been really happy with this coop. We paid $699 for ours, and I believe the regular price is around $999. For $699 especially, I think we got A LOT for the money. One of the biggest selling points for me was having a full height run that you can actually stand up and walk around in. I looked at plenty of other options in this price range where that wasn’t the case. I think some of the negative reviews also come down to expectations. This is not a $3,000 custom built coop and run, so I wouldn’t expect it to perform like one. If you live somewhere with Oklahoma winds, heavy snow, serious predator pressure, or other extreme conditions, you should plan and reinforce for those conditions regardless of which prefab coop you buy. I don’t really consider that a flaw with the coop. For the price, it’s a really nice setup and, honestly, one of my favorite things about it is how customizable it is. My biggest advice is to think about the changes you might want to make BEFORE putting everything together. Unless you’re like me and get excited, put it together, and then think of 47 things you want to change. 😂 We’ve already made several modifications and still have a few more planned. My favorite change by far was replacing the acrylic window with chicken wire and adding shutters. It gives the coop significantly more ventilation, but we can still adjust the shutters depending on the weather and block wind at roost level when needed. I also eventually want to add an automatic chicken door, but I’m actually in no hurry. I enjoy going out to open and close the coop myself, and honestly, I think my girls enjoy the interaction too. We also added extra predator protection when we installed it. We dug the coop/run area down about two inches and set it into the ground. We then added wire around the perimeter that extends farther underground and skirts outward. Predator proofing is another area where I think you have to consider your own property and what predators you have rather than expecting any prefab coop to account for every possible situation. As far as size, we have four chickens and I think it’s a great size for them. I personally would not put more than six in this setup without expanding the run. The actual coop itself is fine, it’s the run space that I would consider the limiting factor as you add more chickens. Even with four, I’m a believer that if you have the ability to give them more space, they’re going to use it. One of our acrylic windows did arrive broken. I contacted the company and they sent us the ENTIRE replacement wall within two days. I’ve seen reviews lowering the rating because something arrived damaged, but these are mass produced products being shipped in very large boxes. Things can happen during shipping. What matters to me is what the company does about it, and they made ours right immediately. I really couldn’t ask for better customer service. We still have more little upgrades we want to make, but that’s honestly become part of the fun. This gave us a really good base that we could customize specifically for our chickens, our property, and how we wanted to use it. For four girls, especially for the $699 we paid, I’m extremely happy with it. Having a full height run that I can actually stand and walk around in is a huge plus. And apparently modifying a chicken coop is now one of my hobbies. 😂
