Chester Hutch

This was one of the easiest hutches to build, so straight forward it took no longer that 10 minutes. Its sturdy and of a good quality. It is being used to house a rabbit so I just missed out the roost bars and divider. Would definitely buy again or similar if needed

I wanted to use this for a while before reviewing it. I bought it to use as a rabbit hutch. I have one large Californian white rabbit. It’s the perfect side for her. I think 2 small rabbits would be ok but no more than that. The removable cleanable tray is amazing. Perfect for getting everything clean! I disinfect it once a month when doing a big clean out. The rabbit seems to live on the top shelf in the enclosed area, and use the tray as it’s toilet! There is no ladder for the rabbits to get on the shelf, mine is big enough to jump, but if you had smaller pets you may need to make/install one. I removed the coops perch bar. It just slots in and comes out easily. As do the dividers on the shelf. We don’t tend to use the front door as I clean through the opening top. The outdoor part is ok. I have a tarp tie wrapped to the roof for protection from the rain as that’s where I put the food etc. You can’t get into that part to clean easily as it only has a tiny door for the rabbit to get out of. I haven’t yet, but in the summer I will add chicken wire to the bottom of the outdoor area to stop the rabbit digging out. It’s currently stood on concrete but will be moved to the grass when the weather is nicer. All in all it’s a great hutch for the money. I would have liked to have the option to buy the additional run from amazon but it’s not available.

The coop seems to be well made but the wood might be a little thin for the winter months. I am just not sure yet. However, the pullets have settled in well and are happy and comfortable. The design is excellent so cleaning and access is great. Some coops can be a nightmare to clean but this is well thought out. In terms of building, the instructions are terrible so it is easier to build the coop without the instructions as some of the steps are missed out And there are poor diagrams for you to follow. Still, common sense goes a long way and the coop is not too difficult to build. I am not particularly knowledgeable about building things but managed to build the coop very quickly. The look of the coop is attractive and it does seem sturdy at the moment. I look forward to seeing how things go when the winter comes.

Small but well thought out coop. Purchased as a safe place for a broody full sized hen, with any luck the bantam family she hatches! The recommended size suitability for 3 full size hens should be taken with a pinch of salt. The coop is really small, and would need a significant extention and free range access to be livable. It was really easy to put together. The printing of the instructions was a very small and fuzzy, and could be followed but many steps seemed to be rolled together which should have been separate. Largely OK, thought had one issue though, noted by another customer review - the runners for the waste tray were labeled as the same part but one is thicker than the other and should go on the left or it won't fit. Like most other coops, it will have to be treated by the purchaser to ensure long life. All in all, really pleased. Arrived quickly, was well packaged and complete.

I bought this back in 2017 its now 2025, I am now looking to renew it as its past it best , its been used out doors as a night time enclosure for 3 very mucky ducks, out in all weathers. To some 8 years may not seem as thought its lasted very long but given I've never painted it or sheltered it I think its done very well. I will be buying a new one the same. I hope this review is helpful 👍

Not a lot not a lot

Had this coope many years ago and very happy with the quality and price 👍

I bought this hutch in May 2020 as from the photos it looked great, was a good size, so I thought I'll spend a bit more money and get a decent cage for my bunny. However I do not want people to make the same mistake I did and be fulled by the photos. It is well over priced for what it is, as it is very poor quality. The wood chipped easily at the front, the drawer after about month and half came very hard to remove for cleaning and then in December 2020 I have to use a screw driver to open the door to the bedroom. I understand wood sells but I have never had issues before with cheaper cages which in all honesty have been made better and even my hutch is under shelter so dread to think what it would be like if it was not under cover and exposed to all the elements. PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE the wood has not been treated!!! When I contacted the seller with my issue they said it needs to be treated 1-2 times a year....so if this is the case they should put this in the description and for the price it is I feel it should already be treated at the start. They also told me I can sand the door down but I do not have the tools to do this, so I will need to get someone in and pay more money. I am very unhappy and will not purchase from this company again.
