My Pet Companion 72018 Chicken Coop

This thing was great but don’t expect it to keep your chickens safe from predators. We kept 2 our baby chicks in it when they were transitioning from the brooder to the coop. Got this for them and they were in it for about 5 weeks. They loved it. But we didn’t have them outside in it, as anything could’ve torn into it if it wanted them badly enough. Worked great though, for what we used it for. Would be a good rabbit house too

Once built the coop is cute and adds character to our yard. The instructions are very basic, but you can probably figure it out. I had to make a couple of additions. There is no roost bar for the birds so I had to install one. The locks on the doors are flimsy, so you may consider installing one that is more reliable.

Plans o to put together were cryptic and it took alot of faith in hoping the pictures were what you thought they might be. Almost no text. Some pieces had to be glued from damage or poor construction but finally worked out with a bit of creativity..

I don’t think it will be comfortable space for 4 hens... I’m sure that I’ll have to modify it. Made from very thin pieces of wood. It might last the year. I’ll probably use it for chicks and build a strong one for my hens. There is NO roosting bar.

I like the coop will work perfect for us. Was some issues that I would rather take up with the manufacture and not on line. I repaired all but one of the issues.

This is VERY small. A small rabbit would be happy or two bantam hens.... Maybe.The laying box is very drafty and does not lock.It is very difficult to get the hens out of the bottom portion if they decide to run away.The ramp snapped off right away.Looks very cute and easy to assemble. Last my 6 baby chicks (4-5 weeks old at the time) 2 weeks before they outgrew it completely. It was also too drafty to leave them in it at night while being so young. No where to really hang a light for them.

Overall, satisfactory. Two small wooden pieces were broken, but wood glue and clamps handled that issue. The assembly directions (photos only) required some imagination to understand a few times.

Really love the build but no place to run the cord or hang the heat lamp already, we adjusted and the ramp is to steep to climb while little
