Solid coop with high quality materials. The mesh is strong and predator proof. The rubber mats and automatic door are thoughtful touches. It is extremely sturdy and affixes to the ground well. Lots of room for my chicks and they enjoy the space.
It is difficult to put together and when they recommend two people you definitely need two people. A power drill is also a must, and I am short so I also needed a ladder to take care of the roof, so something to keep in mind.
For new chicken owners, this is a great choice - I would just recommend to put down hardware cloth at the bottom to keep out digging predators if you have them in your area. That is not an issue for us. I may be adding a roosting bar - the one provided seems too high up. But maybe the chicks will surprise me and use it!. Liz M. Chicago, IL. Sun May 10 2026
