Carr 18.82m² Chicken Coop

Unfortunately this chicken coop doesn't seem fit for purpose to me. The back of the house is just a plank of wood - different to the rest of the house. The lid on the nest box has no latch to keep closed so any predator could flip it open. The lid also does not meet flush with the house so the weather gets in. The window didn't have any Perspex or anything to cover the holes so it is not warm and again the weather can get in - not to mention cats can reach right in - I had to staple in my own chicken wire to protect the birds. From the photo you will see that the damp has already got to the side door - in fact there is already mould forming inside. The green material on the roof does not seem waterproof either. Finally, the entrance does not have a sliding door - or any form of door - so the weather gets in, the birds are cold and it is not as safe for them. The only good thing is the nice sized mesh door on the outside. I am so very very disappointed with this product - if I was in the UK I would have send it back for a refund.

Arrived promptly and now have 5 happy chickens although they have yet to earn their keep by laying any eggs !

Do not buy! This is completely and utterly false advertising. Firstly it says for 6 chickens but my two chickens can only just fit in it but have no room to manoeuvre. Second it says it has a waterproof layer, no it doesn’t the green layer you see in the pictures is just a weird paper. It rained whilst I was trying to build it and got soaked though immediately. The instructions don’t appear to match the coop, they are impossible to understand. The individual pieces of wood arrived split, broken and with extra pieces that aren’t on the instructions. Once finally put together in the best way possible it is flimsy as hell with dangerous gaps that chickens can injure themselves on. I would of returned it but my normal coop got attacked by foxes so I had to bring my chickens home to the garden and they desperately needed shelter for the night. Worst waste of money ever. A joke

Nice chicken coop
