OverEZ Classic Large Chicken Coop for Up to 15 Chickens - Nesting Box - Large Bird, Poultry and Hen House Made from Wood, Made in USA

After tracking this coop for several years, finally made the purchase and we wish we had bought it sooner. We have a backyard flock with 2 Brahmas (one of the largest breeds), a Buff Orpington, Australorp, and 3 Easter Eggers.Backstory: Our old coop was a homemade one we picked up for free on Craigslist. It was on the small side and had one nesting box that 2 chickens could use at once. We modified and painted it over the years and added the automatic door with timer from incubator warehouse (highly recommend that addition). All was fine for a while as the flock fluctuated between 5-8 birds over the years.Then, the feed store had Brahma chicks and, as they grew bigger, they discovered roosting in trees! All the past year after they began laying (and getting very large in stature), we would have to go out on a steep hill to a low Apple branch they roosted in, grab them, and carry them into the coop. We suspected they wanted more indoor space since they used to sleep in the old coop when young, putting themselves to bed independently. That is when we began looking for the "permanent solution." By now, we knew we would not be going chicken-free as we had the flock since 2013. Finally, the price on the OverEZ coop dropped enough, and we were able to secure free shipping, and a Prime promotion/deal, which made it the best possible price we had seen over the years we had been looking.The coop arrived on a large truck and the worker used a motorized dolly to place it in the yard. A level spot that is big enough will be needed. A standard driveway will hold the package. We unpacked and it is lucky the coop comes in panels because it took muscle to get it into the back. Ours was in good shape. The only thing is that one windowpane is upside down, but this does not affect the look or functionality at all. This is the large coop, so be prepared for that! The heaviest piece was the front, with the windows and nesting box door. Get it level and square so the roof fits. Ours was challenging because there was a tree right next to it that we had to work around so the roof was slightly off until we could deal with that.Installation was incredibly easy considering. A lot of thought went into making this a fast setup as even the screws are started. Instructions were clear and there is an animated app of the installation. Our specific site was an extremely tight fit or it could have been done within an hour with two adults in reasonable shape. As it was, we had to level, jiggle and more to get the best position. The automatic door from the old coop fit perfectly on this one. We used a large, modular dog kennel for a run.The chicken reaction was astonishing. After 2 days of putting them in there by hand and after programming the door for sunrise and sunset we came home one evening to discover all the chickens (including the tree-loving Brahmas) perching on the roosting bars! Every single chicken was inside in time for the door to close! We are beyond excited to have the safely housed again. The only thing left is to get them to lay in the boxes. The Australorp has brooded in there, so looks hopeful.Update: 9/1/2022: They are laying in the nesting box now. Brahmas rebelled when we installed an automatic light too close to the windows though and went back to the trees to roost, so we are moving the lights to the large door instead in the hopes that fixes it.Update 12/21/22:All chickens are roosting inside every night for months now. We have lots of predators right over the fence: coyotes, opossum, skunks, raccoons, eagles, and hawks to name a few. The coop has kept them secure. You want to close the windows entirely at night though if you don't replace the screens with hardware cloth. Raccoons will be able to rip through a regular screen though we have not had this happen. So far all are fine.

Excellent workmanship

Chicken coop was delivered on 5–14-2025, noticed damage to one corner of pallet. Open pallet It had been infested with mice, chewed up all of foam packing many droppings opened instructions papers building inspection was done on10-25-2022 Was in storage along time noticed damage to corners of roof trim in Photo, Assembled the coop wasn’t too difficult straightened out roof Trim, kind of an eyesore but I can live with it ,caulked around all trim and windows. They did not do a very good job caulking , used all the touchup paint needed a little more. The door was warped, many gaps in the siding had to caulk Them all.

The media could not be loaded. I wanted to get a coop up quick, so I ordered this one. The sale price was great, too. After it arrived, I put it on 6 x 6 “stilts” to raise it a bit higher, so the chickens can go underneath with deeper bedding. I insulated it, electrified it, finished the interior with old cedar fence pickets and put waterproof sheet vinyl flooring in it I did that after the coop was assembled—I should have tried doing it before adding the sides to the floor. I am not a fan of staggered roosts, and the positioning had them scrunched in against the back wall, so I added ledger boards and built my own removable 2 x 4 roosts (that’s snow on them in the pic, not poop). The small ladder fit inside perfectly (I put it on the ledger board on the right side of the roosts), so I built another ladder for the outside. Of course, I had to add an automatic door from another company, which required me cutting out the old chicken door. But it was easy. I still have to trim it out the interior part of the door, but I wanted to get the birds into a permanent coop (the temp was fine) before the cold weather hit, so I’ll do that later. I know people are terrified of using cedar with birds, but it’s not being used as bedding, and the pickets were old—20 years old. I also couldn’t find any conclusive studies that would confirm the allegations against using cedar. My only really big criticism is, the windows should be able to be opened from the outside. You shouldn’t have to crawl inside to do it. I will change that later, and I’ll add 1/2” wire mesh to replace the screen. I also covered the nest box openings with the fence pickets. I have nest boxes in the large run, but if I decide to open these up, I will just use a router to flush-cut the openings (I made sure no screws would be in the way). Fun project, and the birds are toasty warm with both windows wide open for ventilation.

We put this together over the weekend, took a couple of hours. VERY heavy , but, for the most part was simple to get together. Took a couple of hours for us. The roof had a few issues, and there are a few , extremely small gaps, which you wouldn't notice unless you were the person up close and personal while assembling it. This thing is a great size, very sturdy, and I would definitely recommend. We ended up spending the extra money up front, got the bigger, sturdier coop, instead of the small cheaper versions--now cant wait to get the chickens in it

We put this coop together yesterday and for touting “Amish Made” I’m quite disappointed. There are many gaps between the pieces and the two white corner panels that secure the large door to each side are coming undone. There is also a large gap on the backside of the nesting boxes. We have to do a lot of extra building and securing to it to make it sturdy, reduce drafts and keep predators out due to the poor craftsmanship. Super disappointed for over $3,000!!!

Love it!! Put it together in less than an hour with my hubby. Came on a pallet nicely packaged. Also included extra touch up paint which was amazing! Can't wait to move the chicks outside!

This coop replace two old, cheaply built coops from another brand company. Had I known about this coop back then, I’d never would have bought those other two. Easy to assemble, after demolishing the old ones and prepping site. Highly recommended.
