PawHut 77" Wooden Chicken Coop with Nesting Box, Cute Outdoor Hen House with Removable Tray, Ramp Run, for Garden Backyard, Green

Our duck does not find it difficult to go through the doorways or up the ramp of this little coop. The enclosed run is very small. We only use it to keep him safe from predators at night. The latches are a little flimsy. We reinforced with store bought hooks that are made so raccoons can't easily lift them. They have an additional spring loaded sheath that has to be pulled back so the hook will come out of the eye.. We also wrapped the underside of the run with more chicken wire so an animal could not get under it.

I purchased this coop without high expectations given the overall low rating. Other reviewers have mentioned that the assembly instructions are poor. I agree, however I was able to assemble it myself in an hour or so. I did not have any problems with wood cracking, though I screwed everything in by hand. The coop is cute, but it is on the small side. It will be perfect for my one (soon to be two) mallard duck. I am keeping the coop inside a building that is predator-proof at night and he forages during the day. I would not leave my duck outside overnight in this coop. The wire in the run is stapled on; a raccoon would get through it like butter. The latches are too easy for predators to open as well. If the wire was attached more securely to the run and new latches put on, it *may* be ok. It’s pretty lightweight, so it would need wire underneath or buried to keep predators from getting under. We have a family of raccoons that love our yard. We have also spotted skunks, coyotes, hawks and a bobcat in the woods behind our house, so we need extra protection. It works well for our indoor placement, it’s cute and I’m glad I purchased it. My duck loves it!Edit: I added a few photos with my mallard to give you some perspective on the size of the coop.

I bought this coop hoping it would be at least passable to house my bonded pair of chickens, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of it! The wood is solid and doesn’t feel like it is going to snap just from putting it together. All the hardware was accounted for, the holes were pre-drilled and the instructions were simple, easy to follow pictures. The roof gave me a little trouble at first because I didn’t realize I needed to attach them at a more extreme angle to make them all fit nicely together, but once I had someone help me hold them while I placed the screws it was easy. You will need two people to assemble it if only for that reason. The roosting bars are a bit low for the amount of shavings I’m using but that’s not a big deal. I did screw some plastic sheeting on top to help protect it from the elements, especially since as you can see from the pictures we just got a good amount of snow. I’ll update my review after a while to see how it has help up to the elements.

Have to use it but can only use the house the wire part small and would only by use for 2 chickens if that. Babies maybe a few. It is not at all sturdy and be VERY careful when screwing screws in wood weak and breaks some. For the roof pieces do not line up and that pointy piece at top looks stupid its just wood color and makes no sense to put there as it does not fit and looks horrible. Definetly does not look like picture. The wood side area where nest should go is weak and loose. I would return it but already put it together. NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL STAY AWAY UNLESS FOR LITTLE BABIES BUT THEY WILL OUTGROW THIS!!!!.

This coop was hard to put together. I did it myself. The hardest part was the roof. The instructions weren’t detailed. This is small. Also no instructions on how to do the latch for the nest boxes. After messing with it a while I figured out how to use it to lock them closed. Attached is a picture so you know how to do it. Hope it helps. It’s also cheap wood and the roof of the nesting boxes came a little scuffed up. I would probably recommend spending a little more and getting a different coop.

•Instructions are pictures and numbers only. I highly recommend using a drill. You will need it. I completely skipped the first part, which was to put the roof together. Honestly, the roof was the hardest part. You’ve got to guess where to drill the pieces together. It doesn’t label where the screws go or have preset holes on the roof. I was worried that a would end up stripping it. It was easier for me to build the base of the coop then build the roof. You’re required to use bolts and nuts to connect the nesting box to the coop. 2 of the 4 holes that are predrilled had tiny staples or nails poking through them. Another small annoyance to fix. I could probably go on.•Item is flimsy. Totally expected it to be cheap made, which it is. I was too lazy to build something. I purchased this for a quick setup. This would be excellent for a Mother hen and her chicks or for small Seramas (smallest of chickens).•Not truly predator proof. I intentionally planned to put this in our chicken run. I honestly don’t think someone living in town could get away with this in their yard for long before their chickens get snatched or killed. For the effort to make it predator proof and the small annoyance to put this together, it would be better to just DIY your own little coop. Not to mention, any DIY project would easily last longer than this coop. If your not the most savvy, there are plenty of plans (free or for a small fee) for beginners on the internet.•I highly doubt the long term use of this coop. Wood pallets are sturdier. I would not be surprised if this went to the dump next year.•I would not put more than one regular sized chicken in this, unless you let the chickens roam free during the day and lock them up at night. In that case, two regular chickens could get away with it, but I would absolutely not recommend this at all.•When it’s all set and done, I recommend getting creative and building your own coop. I will never again purchase any coop online. Looking at all of the coops, they are too expensive with zero quality. It’s easy to find scraps and/or purchase the needed building materials. If you feel you lack basic simple beginner skills, it would be cheaper to pay a handyman to build you something of any size for what you desire.
