PawHut75" Wooden Chicken Coop with Nesting Box, Outdoor Hen House with Removable Tray, Ramp Run, for Garden Backyard, Natural Wood

This is a very small coop, I do use it for broody silkies. Door is only locked at night. All the girls can come and go during the day. They all have their favorite coop (I have 3 pawhuts, and getting ready to buy a 4th).Last year I bought this coop in May. In September we had a powerful hurricane slam into us. Neighbors large trees (6 of them), came down and did damage to yard and home. Largest tree came down on this coop and coop was standing and tree was being held up by it. My Muscovy hen was on eggs and was safe and sound in it.The attached pen was bent, but held up. Door came loose, but was easily fixed.This came with instructions and took an hour to put together. Outside pen doesn’t really attach securely to coop, but I used wire ties to sung it up.Electric drill makes this simple to put together.Boxing was intact, company emailed me to see if I got my delivery and if it was ok!My chickens are free range, but return to coops at night. For best experience always lock doors at night.

We loved this coop. The design was friendly for cleaning. One thing we did differently was hinge the top frame so we could clean the fenced area from the top. We also mounted the unit on scalloped cinder block (laid on its side); the flat kind used for pathway or planter dividers. We wired the coop to these scalloped cinder blocks to make the coop heavy and to keep the wood frame off the dirt. The coop was placed in an area that wild animals cannot dig up (there is about 2 inches of dirt before they hit an old cement septic tank we put additional dirt and sand inside for the chickens to enjoy). Our chickens did very well in this coop. One issue we had was that the wood for the top lid was pretty thin. We also felt it necessary to put a weight on the lid (we were going to put in some hook and eyes attached to a strap before disaster broke) to keep the raccoon from getting in. I actually came out one night to see a coon hugging the the coop but it failed to get in. However, in the end, it was a bear that broke our coop. The first time the bear pushed the coop over from the side, which broke the thin lid when it flopped out. Bears are so strong, it actually lifted some of the heavy scalloped cinder blocks which hung from the bottom of the coop. All chickens escaped and the roof was still somewhat serviceable. The second bear visit and the nesting box lid was completely ripped out and off of the coop. One chicken was sadly lost.Overall, this is a great coop if you keep the following in mind:*Put it on something, like the blocks or brick, to keep the wood healthy.*Make sure the skunk and raccoon cannot dig under the coop (or push the blocks out of the way)*The wood is nice, but will need some wet weather protection; the company admits this.*Don't bother with this coop if you have bears. It doesn't stand a chance and neither will your chickens.My chickens now reside in kennels in an interior room at night in the house and free range during the day.

Great value. Just enough space for an urban duck day-pen (2 Peking’s). They spend the morning and afternoon in it, and enjoy their little condo. If you have common sense, you will figure out the directions. Some minor dings, and knicks not defects, nothing major.For urban dwellers I would recommend adding a broadcloth flooring, with proper layered bedding for pet health and cleanliness.

Easy to put together really thin wood. Some gaps In between the boards. I am a first time with chickens, this is one I would say NO on. It is falling apart! The metal handle for the door broke off. The top lid is breaking off from opening. The poles inside are not high enough. Big enough for only two. So we are having to fix and add things to it for it to last and work. Would like to return if I could

I like the design of this coop, with its elevation, nesting box, ventilation, and ramp. It loses one star for being made of cheap wood, with the top edge of one side already broken upon arrival (not worth the time and effort to return, considering the weight and the fact that the damage did not preclude assembly). The silver lining to the cheap wood cloud was that it was relatively easy to insert screws even in the many locations where the starter holes were missing or barely there. The assembly instructions are abysmal, with no text and poor illustrations. Working by my arthritic self and without a power screwdriver, it took about half a day to assemble. (Compare this to my experience with the New Age Pet ecoFLEX Chicken Barn, which was an absolute joy to assemble but whose overall design could use some improvement.) Considering the poor quality of the wood, I don't expect it to last a long time, but at this price point that's sort of a given and I am not deducting stars for that.

I love this coop for the price it is! It definitely is a stater coop for grow outs if you use it for chickens. I have 4 grows out in it now and I definitely wouldn’t do more that. Even when they are full grown regular breeds or bantam breeds I’d only use this coop for 4 chickens and that’s if they are completely free range all day. I would not let them just live in this thing as the run is very small as is the coop. But for the price it’s a fantastic rabbit pen or stater coop for some baby chicks. The material has held up in some rain so far, it wasn’t hard to put together.

I purchased this in August, it's now September. So I've had this about a month. It is already falling apart. Literally, the "shingle" pieces covering the nesting boxes have all fallen off. There are big gaps from the floor to the sides of the nesting boxes. The side of the fenced area that attaches to the large boxed area has come apart, leaving a three inch gap there too. Apart from that, the tray does not slide in/ out easily. It's sheet metal bottom is flimsy too. The whole thing is cheaply made and will not hold up. I'd like to add my pullets only use this for night time roosting. Daytime, they are out free ranging. Wish now I'd spent a bit more money and purchased something more durable. Cheap...cheap...cheap junk.
