I wanted to love this coop for my bantams but it’s just not great for the price. Lots of gaps - far too drafty - nesting box doesn’t fully latch down, large gaps where the floor meets the walls.. it’s just not ideal for chicken tenders who live in colder climates like New England. Many of the predrilled holes did not line up so setting up took twice as long as it should have, stripping some screws.

We have had this coop in Ohio for 5 years now to house four laying chickens. I am extremely satisfied with the coop and with the customer service for helping with replacement parts from what I would consider normal wear and tear of daily use.

All of these prefab coops are what they are - I initially had used this coop as a 'starter coop' which was located inside of a 10x30 secured chicken run. I used it for pullets before they were big enough to enter an established flock. I had since moved this coop OUTSIDE of my chicken run and used it to house 5 silky chickens. I had also put an automatic door attached to the 'hardware cloth' and then a chicken tunnel so the silkies could free and my big girls wouldn't be able to harm them. I had also secured this coop with additional hardware cloth on top of what it already had AND underneath so no predators could get in. What I didn't take account for was the latching mechanism to the coop itself. A racoon was able to unlatch the coop door and massacred ALL FIVE silkies. So now I am back to using the coop as a starter coop AFTER I fix the locks. Don't let that happen to you - if you purchase this coop, PLEASE for the safety of your flock, change out those locks!

Roof collapse within the 1 first year of having these. I bought 4 of them and the door are hard to open and close after eing in the weather. Mesh welding coming undone. I would not recommend these of you need something for indoors this would work but not in the elements. I have 14 coops from the tractor supply and These are by far the worst coops I have ever bought.
