    Eric, Thanks so much for your honest review. We have noticed all problems you mentioned in the video. We have improved all the details: added a waterproof PVC cover to the nesting box roof edge, added a latch to lock the chicken run in future production. Once the new design is ready, it will be shared with you. Any suggestions on products are welcome. Aivituvin keeps moving on the way to the best!

    I have one of these. Mine is on 4 wheels, but basically the same. A problem with this type is that the roosting bars are lower than the nesting boxes, which causes the chickens to roost at night in the nesting boxes. I agree it was quite easy to put together and looks great. Thanks for the tip to do some caulking and painting. For now I have it inside a covered chicken run but plan to build an additional walk-in coop and use this for quail. Quail don't use nesting boxes so I think it will work.

    I Paid $110 for lumber, $85 on hardware cloth & like $30 on hardware to build a similar coop/aviary for my quail last month. Only difference is my coop is much much bigger, stronger, waterproof & has a detachable “tractor” section that’s mobile.

Also impressed with Aivutuvin for acknowledging suggestions and acting on them. Im going to seriously consider Aivituvin product. FYI.. newer 2022 version looks to be available with improvements.

    A coon can easily open those sliding latches. We have plenty of coons, hawks, foxes, coyotes as well as armadillos and moles. I have seen them all on our property in the daylight so I imagine there are many more roaming around at night looking for a meal. Chickens will be safe in the coop at night though. This would not work for us. This “looks” nice but does not looks terribly sturdy or like it would last a year out in weather. I think we are going to build something without a run and set the coop inside a large run covered with hardware cloth. Top, sides and a 2 ft perimeter all around the outside about 4-inches deep in the ground, but still attached to the frame to keep anything from digging in. Build it right once and you won’t have to do it over every year.

    • @CountryLivingExperience
      @CountryLivingExperience  2 роки тому +2

      Yep. That is why it is only going to be an isolation coop for us within the confines of our electric fence. It will have to be sealed and painted to have a chance at all.

    I just got a pre-fab coop and I can already see that I am going to have to modify it to make it bigger for the 4 chicks we just got and so ready to put them in when the weather gets warmer. Thanks for the info on painting and sealing it up. I am excited to start this new adventure with backyard chickens.

    One of these coops are good for 2 large breed chickens.But they need a good 4"×6" run with them.I have 4 black rock hens,2 of the coops connected by the 4×6 run that connects them.All 4 still roost in one coop but 2 coops is still more adequate for 4 large hens.I also let them free range a few hrs per day and they are very happy.Using just these coops alone just isn't enough for happy chickens.Good while still chicks though.I also added a layer of cheap waterproofing.Good coops for the money though.

    I bought one from same company, very cute but need to modify to really work well. I bought for my little chicks after moving from brooder and before coop living with the big girls. I wish it were on a base to raise it up higher so I don’t have to squat down to tend to the girls and to keep the bottom from rotting out.

      I have a similar coop and I had a frame made about 2 feet tall and built to the dimensions of the coop, put hardware cloth on the frame, and placed the coop on the frame (for that no-squatting down reason!! ha) Of course, these modifications added to the cost but it was well worth the cost to me.

    Well . . . if you wanted to put rabbits in there, you'd have to add wire mesh to the bottom, or they'd dig out. For us, this wouldn't work - snow in the winter and predator pressure would make it impractical - as lightweight as it is, a raccoon could be in and out in no time. Snakes could get in as well.

    What I’ve seen if prefab chicken coop reviews (of different types and brands) most are junk. If you have even basic building skills and time you can build one way better with pallet wood or even purchased treated wood for about $300-$400. The prefab ones won’t last inside of a year in most climates without out a lot of additional work and materials after purchasing. Don’t waste your money, build it yourself.

    A coyote or other predator like raccoons will push through the cheap mesh on these quite easily. Beware of that. Best to just get a crash course in making a basic box with lumber. It will be several times stronger than these things.
