Producer's Pride Guardian Chicken Coop, 14 Chicken Capacity

The coop is great! Was delivered undamaged by XPO. Today I was inside the coop putting up some modifications (a shelf and curtains to avoid the chickens pooping in the nesting boxes) Much to my embarrassment the wind blew the door shut. So just wanted to let people know to make sure and use a big rock or something to prop the door open if going inside the coop. The run isn’t a problem to get out of because you can reach your fingers through to open the latch. But not the coop. The coop and attached run are very sturdy and I highly recommend.

Produce arrived undamaged and with all pieces included. Assembly took about 3 - 4 hours and definitely requires two people. The coop itself serves its purpose but there is absolutely no way that 14 chickens could live in this happily. I think this coop is better suited for 4 - 6 chickens comfortably. The coop itself is only about 15 square feet while it is recommended to have about 3 - 5 square feet per chicken. We only keep them in the coop at night so it isn't a huge deal, but I think claiming 14 chickens is false advertising. We installed an automatic chicken door by cutting the welds on the previous door slot and putting in a Chicken Guard All-in-one door. Works great. in this application and fits perfectly. We also had to extend the run because we felt terrible for our 12 chickens in that tiny run. Remember it claims it can house 14, but even with 12, they are too compacted. If they advertised this for 4 - 6 chickens max I would easily give 5 stars. The construction seems solid and I had no issues assembling. We will see how cold it gets in the winter, but I will likely caulk some of the gaps to better insulate it. However, we bought this coop with 12 chicks thinking we would have room to spare and we were sadly mistaken. Until they update the maximum number of chickens allowed in the product description, I cannot recommend this product.
