OverEZ Classic Large Chicken Coop for Up to 15 Chickens - Nesting Box - Large Bird, Poultry and Hen House Made from Wood, Made in USA

After tracking this coop for several years, finally made the purchase and we wish we had bought it sooner. We have a backyard flock with 2 Brahmas (one of the largest breeds), a Buff Orpington, Australorp, and 3 Easter Eggers.Backstory: Our old coop was a homemade one we picked up for free on Craigslist. It was on the small side and had one nesting box that 2 chickens could use at once. We modified and painted it over the years and added the automatic door with timer from incubator warehouse (highly recommend that addition). All was fine for a while as the flock fluctuated between 5-8 birds over the years.Then, the feed store had Brahma chicks and, as they grew bigger, they discovered roosting in trees! All the past year after they began laying (and getting very large in stature), we would have to go out on a steep hill to a low Apple branch they roosted in, grab them, and carry them into the coop. We suspected they wanted more indoor space since they used to sleep in the old coop when young, putting themselves to bed independently. That is when we began looking for the "permanent solution." By now, we knew we would not be going chicken-free as we had the flock since 2013. Finally, the price on the OverEZ coop dropped enough, and we were able to secure free shipping, and a Prime promotion/deal, which made it the best possible price we had seen over the years we had been looking.The coop arrived on a large truck and the worker used a motorized dolly to place it in the yard. A level spot that is big enough will be needed. A standard driveway will hold the package. We unpacked and it is lucky the coop comes in panels because it took muscle to get it into the back. Ours was in good shape. The only thing is that one windowpane is upside down, but this does not affect the look or functionality at all. This is the large coop, so be prepared for that! The heaviest piece was the front, with the windows and nesting box door. Get it level and square so the roof fits. Ours was challenging because there was a tree right next to it that we had to work around so the roof was slightly off until we could deal with that.Installation was incredibly easy considering. A lot of thought went into making this a fast setup as even the screws are started. Instructions were clear and there is an animated app of the installation. Our specific site was an extremely tight fit or it could have been done within an hour with two adults in reasonable shape. As it was, we had to level, jiggle and more to get the best position. The automatic door from the old coop fit perfectly on this one. We used a large, modular dog kennel for a run.The chicken reaction was astonishing. After 2 days of putting them in there by hand and after programming the door for sunrise and sunset we came home one evening to discover all the chickens (including the tree-loving Brahmas) perching on the roosting bars! Every single chicken was inside in time for the door to close! We are beyond excited to have the safely housed again. The only thing left is to get them to lay in the boxes. The Australorp has brooded in there, so looks hopeful.Update: 9/1/2022: They are laying in the nesting box now. Brahmas rebelled when we installed an automatic light too close to the windows though and went back to the trees to roost, so we are moving the lights to the large door instead in the hopes that fixes it.Update 12/21/22:All chickens are roosting inside every night for months now. We have lots of predators right over the fence: coyotes, opossum, skunks, raccoons, eagles, and hawks to name a few. The coop has kept them secure. You want to close the windows entirely at night though if you don't replace the screens with hardware cloth. Raccoons will be able to rip through a regular screen though we have not had this happen. So far all are fine.

We put this together over the weekend, took a couple of hours. VERY heavy , but, for the most part was simple to get together. Took a couple of hours for us. The roof had a few issues, and there are a few , extremely small gaps, which you wouldn't notice unless you were the person up close and personal while assembling it. This thing is a great size, very sturdy, and I would definitely recommend. We ended up spending the extra money up front, got the bigger, sturdier coop, instead of the small cheaper versions--now cant wait to get the chickens in it

The media could not be loaded. The product was very easy to assemble I love the little windows! Even though the product was easy to assemble it is very sturdy and strong. It is well worth the money to have some happy chickens, and to know where all your eggs are at. We let our chickens free range so it's almost like an Easter egg hunt everyday trying to find where they have laid. I have nine hens and the size is perfect for them, I haven't had to clean it yet so I don't know how easy it will be but it looks like it'll be pretty easy. I put some rubber flooring on the floor to help make the cleaning easier

Without a doubt this is a solid coop and will last for years. It was worth the price. That being said the assembly was a challenge. Once I stopped trying to use the enclosed hardware I was able to make very good progress. The screws were just a pain and kept stripping out. Switched to star head and went much better. The only real complaint is that the tolerances I don’t think stack up. By the time I put the roof sections on the side were tight and the roof sections could not meet up. I cut a couple of spots and got the gap down to about 1/2”. This had to be sealed up to make the coop water tight but will work. Again a solid piece but the assembly would have been much easier if the wall pieces fit closer together.

I was hesitant to buy this coop but I am glad I did! I was able to put it together alone in about 2 hours. I do recommend watching an assembly video on YouTube and following along with it. There were a lot of helpful hints that the paper instructions didn't include. Everything lined up properly and functions as it should. 5 stars

The media could not be loaded. You definitely need more than one person to assemble, which gave me the impression of the coop being a good and sturdy coop. I was surprised that although the coop is advertised as solid wood, the majority of it was particle board. It was raining when I recieved it and any part that wasn't painted, began to warp with a little bit of moisture, which is to be expected with particle board. It was easy to assemble when it came to just putting the pre-made pieces together, but I ran into a ton of obstacles with pieces not fitting correctly, huge gaps, and missing screws. The nesting box door won't even latch. With how much this coop cost and what the advertisement stated, I was disappointed. It would've been a lot easier and cheaper to have built my own or have transformed a shed into a coop so it would've at least been large enough to walk inside and stand up. I'm on the fence about returning since it's so heavy and I'm not sure if it's worth taking apart to return. I may just rig it up to fix the parts that are messed up and full of gaps. Please see photos and video for reference. Those are only a few concerns on the coop. Save your money and time on this coop.

This coop replace two old, cheaply built coops from another brand company. Had I known about this coop back then, I’d never would have bought those other two. Easy to assemble, after demolishing the old ones and prepping site. Highly recommended.

Love it!! Put it together in less than an hour with my hubby. Came on a pallet nicely packaged. Also included extra touch up paint which was amazing! Can't wait to move the chicks outside!
