Originally I gave this coop a soso review because of a problem I had after adding bedding. I was contacted by My Pet Chicken and they helped me solve my problem. Now that I know the solution and it was pretty easy to fix I give this coop 5 stars. It is tough, has withstood a week of downpours and kept my chicks dry.

We bought this based on the many positive reviews. In general the coop is attractive and was pretty easy to put together. We made the stand based on the directions and unfortunately in the last storm we had the whole thing blew over. I’ve now put it up on cinderblocks which seems sturdier. I’ve had only a few problems. 1st is that the back door to open for cleaning is difficult to get out and the litter trays are flimsy. Of even greater concern is that the roosting bars are a bit too short and the middle one in particular often falls To the ground with my girls on it. I have taken the middle bar out and I’m just using the two side bar now in hopes that they are sturdier and will stay in place. I don’t know if the roosts are really just built too short which would be a major flaw in the design? Or if the back wall bows with time and that makes the roosting bars not fit right? At any rate, I would love suggestions if anyone has had success with ways to keep the roosting bars steady and in place.

I love this coop!!!!! I was able to assemble it myself (with help from my littles ;) it is easy to clean. It is surprisingly solid. I have five spring chickens who adore it. They all roost side by side on one of the roost bars. There is definitely plenty of space for them. The coop has stayed cooler inside than the run throughout summer. I haven't had it through a zone 5 Winter yet..... My only dissatisfaction is with the clips provided to secure the latches. They D-rings break at the hinge. So, I purchased a few stronger ones. Cheap fix . My neighbors called this the chicken luxury suite. I definitely recommend it.

First of all, let me start off by saying that I am not a person to get online and write a review on items I purchase. Second, this chicken coop is super easy to assemble, and I am not handy by any means! Trust me, I own two of these coops and I am so glad this is the kind I bought! For the money you honestly can't beat the quality of this coop. Our home/farm was hit by a tornado a few weeks ago and our chicken coops/pen was one of the main areas impacted, we walked out and both coops were completely torn apart into pieces and scattered all over the farm. Now here's the cool part, both coops went back together with no problems (Minus one door and one part of the roof that were not found in the debris of the storm), they both literally went back together like they were brand new out of the box!!! You can't over look the quality of this coop, especially knowing that both of my coops withstood a tornado! I mean my husband and I were just so amazed on how easily they went back together after withstanding such a terrible storm and there were no gaps/cracks/issues after putting them back together. This is definitely a situation where we were happy we own such a great coop! If you are wondering "should I invest this much money into a coop?" the answer is 1,000,000 times yes, do yourself a favor and purchase a Formex snaplock coop! You will not regret it! Also, my pet chicken has the most caring and nice customer service I have dealt with in a long time :)

It was very easy to put together and comfortably fits my 8 standard hens. What I love about it is how easy it is to clean. It literally takes five minutes to clean the entire coop.
