3000XWR Chicken Coop – Compact Wooden Hen House with Covered Run, Opening Roof, Pull-Out Tray, Nest Box & Night-Safe Locking Arm – Ideal for 3–4 Birds

If you're handy and looking for a good base to start a coop, this is a great buy. Between my husband and myself we have lots of experience with different projects and woodworking. However, buying all the wood where we live was really expensive, whereas this coop was a decent price. This coop may not last for decades, but it is a great coop for beginners, small yards, renters, etc. First, delivery went well. The first part of the coop arrived far earlier than estimated. The second part of the coop was misplaced in shipping, but the seller was quick to address the issue and was proactive about contacting me each step of the way. The second part arrived the next business day, boxes were in good condition, and all the pieces were there. As for the pieces, some of them are a bit flimsy feeling. They aren't what I would choose if I was building a coop I wanted to have last for years and years. However, they are adequate for the task of keeping birds in and predators in my area out. It also seems like it would be easy enough to upgrade or reinforce any areas you did notice trouble with over time. There were a few pieces of split wood, which is where being a handy person helps. For us, the problems were easy to address with some wood glue, staples, or spare wood we had around. There was 1 spare screw for each of the screw sizes, which is reassuring that you won't come up short on screws during the project. The wire feels pretty sturdy, but I'll be checking it often since I know we have foxes around here. I may upgrade the wire at some point to be safe, but I am confident enough it will hold up long enough for me to notice if something has been trying to bust through. This coop can be assembled by 1 person, but having an extra set of hands does make some tasks easier. The main body and pieces either have pegs to hold them in place while you secure them down or slots to hold them in place. The instructions had a few spots that were a little unclear exactly where the piece was supposed to go, but some trial and error solved those issues. The instructions come with a paper that advises you to seal the coop better. I saw some reviews stating their coops had warped, and I think that was the issue. You need to protect it from rain until it is properly sealed up, though I do think it could easily weather a small storm or hazy day or two if you get caught in it. All the seams fit together well. The doors open and close smoothly. It seems easy to modify, maybe make the run bigger or add compartments to the coop, if you're creative. I've included some pictures of the assembly. The first one shows the worst of the split wood. We glued it together and the piece held nicely. Second one shows the main compartment held together by the pegs before being screwed in. Third shows how you can close the coop door from the outside. If you have big fingers putting that together can be tricky! Last one shows our "tester." Had her sniffing around the wires and doors for a bit, getting used to the smells. She's a bit of a gentle giant but if she didn't knock anything loose or break it I'm sure it'll hold up.

For the price, this is absolutely excellent. The only issues I had/have with it are: 1. The instructions seemed to be for a slightly different (or older) model, the run of which fitted together slightly differently 2. The ramp is a little too steep (I propped it up with wood, which solved the problem) 3. It is a little "flimsy" (e.g. when closing the roof, you have to pull or push the flaps a bit to get it to fit back together) However, these are very small "complaints" when considering the overall product, again especially for the price. It is generally well designed with lots of openings, and both we and our three hens are very happy with it. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering keeping hens for the first time, although I would give the following advice: 1. As soon as you've built it, treat the wood with linseed oil or something to weather-proof it. This is important! 2. The entire coop - not just the intended roosting bit sticking out at the side - can and will be used by the hens, meaning it can comfortably fit about four of them 3. Please don't keep the hens permanently in the run. They need freedom.

Expected it to be bigger as purchased one similar 6yrs ago. Quality adequate to last a couple of years max. I bought mine for a rabbit but I have previously kept chickens and my opinion is this is way too small for chickens... perhaps ok for a night lock up with a huge garden/run attached. U will need to screw down the base for the 'nest box' as it pushes up allowing foxes. Do your research and if u can afford it, go with plastic coops for chickens to eliminate red mite.... I've had a greenfrogdesigns coop for 10years and still looks brand new and can jet wash it down. This one.... poorly made, cheap wood, draughty holes, expect it to last a couple of years with adding a waterproofer.

Good delivery service. Lovely looking product. Good price and size. Fairly easy to assemble. Unfortunately the staples for the wire mesh panel came out fairly soon so I will have to repair it to avoid chickens escaping.

Looks good snd is relatively easy to assemble for two people. However a couple of the pieces were damaged upon arrival but easily fixed. The whole assembly is not very sturdy however so if you intend moving your birds around this is not the coup for you unless you are able to retrofit some additional stabilising timber. It is however, gorgeous for relatively low price!

Beautiful coop. Lovely and roomy. I added a waterproof roof with some sheets from Wickes, the nesting box is a good size and has two perches, just added a waterproof sheet over the egg box, it is so easy to clean, added a rubber sheet on bottom just pull it out and clean, we added a box underneath because we have silkies and they can't get wet. A rod inside to hang feeders on. A very nice coop.

Love this! Our rabbits use the “egg box area” as there litter tray. The large floor area sat on concrete keeps there claws down. We had the smaller version of this last time and decided to upgrade. Easy to clean. Easy to assemble. Great quality.

Merci au vendeur pour sa livraison rapide, sa réactivité dans nos correspondances. Le poulailler est super mignon. Si j'avais un bémol à apporter, le bois est un peu fin, mais compte tenu du prix, je pense que le rapport est très satisfaisant. Sa construction est facile, il est vraiment bien conçu. Je l'ai traité à l'huile de lin + essence de térébenthine avant de le monter pour prolonger sa longévité. Les ouvertures nombreuses sont impeccables pour pouvoir nettoyer dans le détail le poulailler. C'est important.

Stall kam ohne Beschädigung pünktlich an. Einfache Montage, da Teile passgenau gefertigt wurden. Ist sein Geld wert!

Je suis furieux, j'ai l'impression de m'être fait avoir en beauté. Tout d'abord, le poulailler par lui-meme : Livré en deux cartons bien emballés et bien protégés. Pas de chocs sur les cartons. Au déballage, plusieurs pièces cassées, bois fendu, vis qui ressortent, une vraie catastrophe . Au montage, ça devient n'importe quoi et nécessite pas mal de remise en état. Pas mal de pièces qui tombent mal, un bois trop tendre pour supporter les vis et les charges demandées. Je sais que le prix est raisonnable mais on achète un produit en état, pas un truc a réparer avant usage. Ensuite les frais de port qui se montent a pratiquement 25 % du prix d'achat de base. Pourquoi ne pas les intégrer dans le prix pour éviter les surprises ? Vient le moment d'inviter mes poules à visiter leur nouveau domicile. Vu la taille annoncée pour 4 poules, je me suis posé la question de savoir quel genre de poules pouvaient vivre a quatre la dedans. Des poules naines, mais mini naines et plutôt petites minis naines . Ne voulant pas être poursuivi pour cruauté envers les animaux, j'ai abandonné rapidement l'idée d'introduire mes poules dans cette prison. Je vais me servir de ce machin pour élever mes poussins en attendant de le mettre dans un VRAI poulailler. Je suis extrêmement déçu de la qualité de ce produit qui ne passera surement pas le cap d'une année en extérieur. Joli dans un jardin de banlieue pour une poule ou deux au maximum, mais les animaux ne sont pas des jouets et méritent un peu plus de respect et d'espace pour vivre.

preiswertes Holz, dass schon bei der Lieferung gesplittert war. Bei einzelnen Hölzer hielt die Schraube nicht bzw. fehlten. Die versprochene Outdoorqualität hält gem. Produktbeschreibung max. 1 Monat und muss nachbehandelt werden, sonst kein Garantieanspruch. Für das Geld etwas besseres erwartet.

Wir haben den Stall für 3 Meerschweinchen gekauft. Ich bin froh, dass wir noch 4 Wochen Zeit haben, bis sie einziehen, so können wir die vorhandenen Absplitterungen noch reparieren und das Holz kann noch ausstinkern. Der Stall ist einfach zusammen zu bauen, es dauert maximal 30 Minuten. Kleine Reparaturen könnten aber noch anstehen. Das Holz ist recht weich (Fichte?) und sollte auch dringend mit Schutzlasur übergestrichen werden. Für Hühner fände ich ihn zu klein und vom Material zu instabil. Für Kleintiere ist er klasse. Ich würde ihn trotz des Aufwands wieder kaufen. Wir haben ihn farblich an unser Schwedenhaus angepasst, als farbliche Anregung davon ein Foto anbei.
