Like this coop so much (bought Fall 2020) I've bought a second one this summer for more chickens. The current model had air vents in the roosting area (drilled holes in my original one for this purpose). I used bolts with nuts for the nesting box lid hinges and roof cap (much sturdier). Lined nesting boxes with vinyl flooring for cleaning ease. Thompson's water seal applied to all wood surfaces. Widened the roosting bar with a 2" wide board. Overall I really like this coop! I figure when the wood wears out, I'll still have the sturdy metal frame and sides to remodel with. Thanks for your review!
Good I've been having it for 3 years, has gone through rain and shine my 160lv dog laying on it. Unit is still in fair shape. I recently attached it to my dog kennel
will this hold 6 5lb hens?
Those are some heavy hens, yes I think ot can , however that's pushing maximum the capacity of this coop
I replaced the roosting bar with something wider. The one that is supplied is way too narrow for their feet.

ps I winterized the 'run' area with 1/2" foam insulation panels ... they fit perfectly in the framing :-)
Do you think this would suite 4 silkies ? I’m really interested in this coop
Got the same one this year. So far it’s working out.
Wow nice! Any advice ?
How is it holding up?

How many chickens fit in the coop?
It's labeled 6 but I have had 8 in there .
There's a special place in hell for people who keep roosters within earshot of people who don't.
Lol I know what you mean, but literally there is a place in hell for people who don't repent of there sins. Have a good day sir.
