Sorry but they are junk. The "naysayers" on here have alot of experience with them. Just because one review says it lasted "a few years" isn't saying much.Don't listen to these naysayers..... for only $199 it's a good buy. Yeah, you can build your own but you're looking at paying 4x as much and not to mention all the hard labor work you have to put into it.......... just get one of these things for two hundred, an hour or two to set it up, and you're good to go! Some of the folks in here act as if these things are made out of graham crackers or something, there's online review of this exact same coop that's been holding up for a few years (make sure to coat coop with water sealant).

You can find a used shed for that price then attach a run pretty cheap as well.
Thats hillaruous and hideousI have never built anything before -
I’d imagine something I build to be as atrocious as this monstrosity, if not worse:
I’m jealous of your handiness.

Do what I plan on doing. Buying a prefabbed. All the design and guts are there. Then add reinforcement to it where ever needed. I am handy and my husband too. Getting the stuff needed home from store is hard for us and my hub isn't so fast at building and works a lot of hours. Will be easier to remake what's already made.

The more expensive ones I have found I'm sure are made better but not much bigger without going into thousands.Well...the one I have might last until I either purchase a shed (very likely) to “make” a coop. I’m not getting any younger and that sounds appealing to me. There are beautiful coops out there that are well made the one I love is a mere 1400 dollars! So the NOT SO quality coops do have a market for chicken keepers. For those just starting out. The life expectancy of the average chicken (sorry don’t do ducks) is what? Let’s say 6-7 years so...folks will find out if chicken keeping becomes a passion and in that case they will WANT a stronger more secure better coop. Or the FAD will pass and they will move on. You could say It’s the same for dogs (dog houses) or any other pet. Personally my tiny little prefab just is not going to cut it on so many levels period. I WANT for my chickens something better for now it will do. We all keep chickens differently for different reasons. Sometimes we just need to see people doing the best they can with what they’ve got. My little “hella deal” chicken coop started a passion. To each his own.
