Aivituvin Chicken Coop Wooden Hen House Two Nesting Box with Large Run Outdoor Rabbit Hutch Bunny Cage Poultry Coop Suit for 4-6 Chickens

This coop was very easy to assemble. The chickens were nervous about their new home at first but now they love it. The nesting boxes and main area are quite spacious. Would have liked more color options, but grey shall do. Very low to the ground so be ready to bend a lot or build a stand for it.

It arrived early and although it said it took two people one hour to assemble, I was able to put it together myself in about 2 1/2 hours. (I'm a 57 year old woman of medium build.) It was fairly easy except a couple of holes that were supposed to have been drilled didn't go all the way through, but that was easily taken care of with a power drill. It has great ventilation. The locks weren't really secure, but the coop is in a fairly secure pen, so that's not a concern for me. I spent a lot of time looking over models and reviews and I discovered to get a top-notch coop you have to spend a lot more money than I was willing to. For what I paid for this one, I have a cozy little home for my four phoenix chickens with room for a few more.

This coop has 4 nesting boxes and has an attached run. Wherever you place it is probably going to be where you keep it permanently because it is pretty awkwardly shaped after it has been put together.The coop and run came in pieces in two separate boxes and has to be put together, however, some of the pieces came in scratched or damaged.The dividers for the nesting boxes is just a partition that you place in between some slots and doesn’t seem very sturdy; it holds up though.The latch that connects the roof to the main compartment of the coop has already broken on one side already and it has been less than two weeks since we built it; the wood that you screw the hinges into just isn’t strong enough to hold the screws in. We have only opened the roof/utilized the hinges maybe 3-5 times. It’s a great concept but the product needs to be made of thicker wood for the screws to stay in place.The run really isn’t that big and I only have 3 chickens in it currently. If you have the space for them to free roam then it’s not so bad. It’s not a covered run, so that’s unfortunate… the only shade they would get in the run is wherever shade you place them in when you put together the whole thing. Side note: You screw the run to the coop when you build it according to the instructions.The run opens up at the top from one of the middle panels as well as at the end… you can lock the panel that opens at the end however the panel that opens in the middle does not have any locking mechanism. Potentially can be opened freely by any predators. The panels on my run have shifted due to weather since being put together though and it has made it more difficult to open the top middle panel unless if you pry it open from both opposing sides. I don’t know if this makes me feel safer or not since it can still be opened, just not as easily.You would also think that the roofing design allows for the inside of the coop to stay dry, but I have noticed the inside (minus the nesting boxes) gets wets still.The roosting bars don’t allow for roosting to occur either, it’s about a 1”-2” gap from the base of the coop.Overall, this coop and run combo isn’t a good option as a permanent residence for chickens but it does work for something short term. This would probably be better for other small breeds.

Built it myself in a little under 2 hours(took my time) and honestly when kept out of the rain it holds up for a fairly decent coop especially for beginners. Cleaning is very simple and it’s light enough to be able to move around especially if you’ve got a mobile run aswell! Had it for a couple months and other than usual dirt it’s held up nicely and nothing is broken or splintered. Arrived early with everything accounted for too!

Update #1 - using this for 2 weeks and it’s already falling apart. Door came undone, handle fell off, lid for the nesting boxes is stuck and won’t open, roof not sitting right, bottom area that can get pulled out to clean now comes out crooked and is hard to push back in. Everything is fall apart.Update #2 - they refuse to refund me. They told me “ How do you want to fix with a finish nail gun or epoxy if you think it will not affect the everyday use? And of course, we are pleased to provide you a partial refund of $20”…. $20 isn’t even close to partial. Amazon also refused to do an A-Z refund because of the seller refusing to issue more than $20. Amazon and these sellers are seriously going downhill.Opened the box and there were many pieces broken off. The piece of wood that stops the door from going inward was only attached by 1 nail, so they didn’t even completely build it together before shipping. There are gaps where you can see the light through, it’s flimsy and not secure. Definitely not one you would want out in the open as predators can easily get in.
