Chicken Coop Large Metal Chicken Run for 6/10 Chickens Poultry Cage with Waterproof Cover for Duck Walk-in Chicken Pen for Yard

I'm editing this to bring the rating up to five stars, and to add more info about the bracing. The bracing is even more of a nuisance than I knew when I wrote the first draft of this review, but at least it exists. Most similar chicken runs do not have triangular bracing in the corners at all. Once I got the bracing installed, it did make the frame much less wobbly. I think it was worth the effort, but it was a lot of effort.The frame goes together pretty easily until you get to the triangular bracing in the corners, which was clearly an afterthought. The page about installing the bracing is not part of the main instruction book; it is on a separate page that was stuck in later, after the instructions were printed. There are no holes for the screws that hold the braces in place, nor any marking to show where they should go.The triangular bracing comes with self-tapping screws (they are supposed to make their own holes). I put a hex socket in the chuck of my drill and used it to drive the screws. They did make their own holes in the aluminum tubing that forms the frame, and I thought all was well. Then the screws started popping out. The self-tapping end on the screw makes a hole that is slightly too large for the threaded part of the screw. I had to buy larger diameter screws to fit those holes.Similar screws are used elsewhere to prevent a connector from sliding along one of the tubes that make up the frame. At first, I thought those were not really needed, but eventually I decided to put them all in. Again, there are no holes for them, and no markings to show where they should go. It wasn't too difficult to figure out, though. A few stayed in place. I replaced the others with larger screws.Other than that, it is what I expected it to be. I'm going to use it to keep deer out of a small vegetable garden. I think it will work.

Nice setup for the price. I needed to have a separate coop for my turkeys to keep them away from my chickens as the chickens will just plain torture the turkeys when they're young and even into early adulthood prior to them being dispatched. I used a small storage shed i already had and added this coop setup to it to help give them some protection and to also keep them pinned in. We have some windy weather where we live and so I added some 4x4's around the bottom to help give it some weight to prevent it from blowing over. I screwed the 4x4s to the lowered frame The small steaks that they provide don't go deep enough to give the coop some real grabbing power to the ground. So far so good. I was able to build this home for my turkeys on a small budget. If it works I will add metal chicken wire over the framing and maybe some fiberglass roofing next spring to turn it into a more permanent structure/habitat for my turkeys that I raise each year for meat. I would have to say that the real only drawback from this whole kit is the door/gate lock. It is very cheap and would be easy for the wind or just the turkeys hitting the gate the right way when they get bigger to dislodge the locking handle for them to escape. I will upgrade the lock in a few days. All in all I would still give it 5 of 5 stars even with the current lock it came with. I was able to put this together by myself in about 2 hours with most of that time being dedicated to placing the chicken wire over the framework. I would say 2 people could do this project in a little more than an hour. Don't skimp on the plastic ties. It's not supper big. They do sell one that is twice the size, but for what I'm needing it for, this size will do.

I bought this for my 6 ducks for a few reasons.1. Extra layer of protection (their lockable coop sits inside it).2. If someone pet sits for me they can be 'out' without said person chasing them all over to get them to go to bed.On those notes, here's my review:1. This was *very* easy to put together. The mesh wire took me about 3 hours but I did this 100% by myself as a 5'4 female in my 30's.2. The mesh wire is incredibly flimsy and cheap. A rat, raccoon, opossums, dog, weasle, fox... if it has teeth it can chew through this without much effort. DO NOT USE THIS AS YOUR SOLE PROTECTION FOR YOUR POULTRY AT NIGHT. Something will get in.3. This will blow away in the wind. The anchors are laughable. They won't do squat. I put T posts in on each corner and zip tied the frame to them. Absolutely suggest doing the same.4. It's easy for an animal to dig under. I put rail road ties around the entire outside of it.5. I wish there were two more braces for the roof. Watch this in the snow. I think it'd collapse if left with snow build up.With all these notes, I know my review sounds negative. However, I'm quite happy with the purchase for the price.It's the perfect size for my purpose. Everything I found wrong with it I can fix with some DIY upgrades.This review is mainly for new owners who may not know it is not acceptable as is as a 'chicken coop'.

Super easy to put together, I did it myself and it only took a day, I did run out of the zip ties that were provided so had to get more, but did have left over wire. I even had an extra foot going under the whole frame to prevent digging in or out and still had left over. Great product!

Ideally I thought it was going to be a lot bigger as shown in the picture. Maybe show a person next to it. I’m 4”11 and it think it’s pretty small. Definitely a two person job to put together for sure. And there isn’t a lot of stakes so I’ll be buying more unfortunately to hold it stay down. Metal is cheap I find the outside dog pens at tractor supply more sturdy. I love the latch though definitely a lot easier to use then the tractor supply ones, but definitely need to do a size comparison for people to actually see what they are getting. I will post another review once I have finished fully putting it together because it takes a few hours to make sure everything is right. I love my ducks and geese so I’m hoping this protects them and workout.
