“I'm not overly impressed with this coop, especially for the price. When you stick your head in, you can see gaps and cracks that are going to require winterizing before winter. I plan to fill the cracks with some kind if caulking. One of the nesting box's leaks. I don't know how to fix this. The is a special door that you can remove the bottom trays for cleaning. There is a gap below that I feel like rats can get in there. I do not feel comfortable putting my girls in there as it is now. I am pretty disappointed over all. I also got the stand to keep it off the ground and it's not really very stable. I do not recommend buying this coop. It's disappointing.”
“I absolutely love this chicken coop. Easy to put together. I run a sprinkler for my chickens because it gets so hot where I live. And the coop stay dry inside. My chickens love it.”
Thank you for taking the time to review the Formex Large coop! We absolutely agree that it is a wonderful coop in that it is easy to assemble, to maintain, and keeps our flocks healthy and safe! My Pet Chicken looks forward to helping you in the future for any of your flock needs.
“This thing is awesome!! My only regret is not buying it sooner. It is replacing a pre-fab word coop that I’ve only had two years. The wood, which was sealed yearly, will not last much longer. My three youngest children and I put the Formex plastic co-op together in 30 minutes. I anticipate years of chicken housing. It is sturdy and well made and well designed with so many lifting lifs to have acres to chickens. I have 8 larger ladies and they fit just fine.”
“Very dissatisfied and disappointed. The chicken coop is a lot smaller then we originally thought. The pictures make the coop look a lot bigger then what it actually is. Our chickens are very squished. I called to get my money back and they would do nothing. They said once the box is opened we can not return. We waisted over $1000.00. I do not advise people to purchase anything from these guys because they do NOT work with you if you are unhappy. We wish we got warned beforehand.”
We are so sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the size of your coop! We make every effort to describe the coop in detail on the product page but understand it is sometimes difficult to visualize what that space will really look like. Unfortunately, for biosecurity reasons, we cannot accept a return of an assembled and used coop. We did provide you with options over and above our policy to help and are sorry these options were unsatisfactory. We would still like to help if you have changed your mind. You can contact us at 888-460-1529 or info@mypetchicken.com and we will be happy to help.
“I have 13 hens and 2 coops, one a Snap Lick by Formex and one an Eglu by Omlet. All 13 crowd into the Formex every night! It was a breeze to put together and my girls apparently love it!”
Your hens have very good taste, Mary! Thank you for the review of the most popular coop at My Pet Chicken! We are thrilled that both you and your girls love it. With it being a breeze to assemble and to clean, what's not to love?!
“I was able to put this together easily and by myself, 61 year old woman. My chickens love it and it looks very nice. I am happy that it will never need painting and it can easily be checked for eggs and emptied of waste. Great product. I would probably limit the number of chickens to 5 as I have fluffy chicks.”
“I really like the coop, the black bottom stand not as much! It isn’t strong and curves out in our stand which is a very large pallet we cut to b larger than the coop. Over all. I really like this coop and would purchase it again but forget the black stand ! But the way my chickens acted like rich snobs after only one night. Gonna have to school them not to b so Richy rich lol. They really like it !”
“I forgot one other thing I would change about this coop. I believe the roosting bars should be wider based on everything I have read and observed with chickens.”
