Can put feeder and waterer in
Dirt Bath Central when it's raining outside
Takes less than 1 minute to lock up over 100 chickens
Can place single or nesting boxes inside (in addition to the large chicken house being the Central Location for Egg Laying)
Doubles air breeding pens
Single pens can be used to house young chicks or injured birds. Can also be used for housing broody hens and used as a brooder.

Dislikes:
Not tall enough for ME. I bump my head when I go in to fill water and food and get eggs

Open Air CoopLikes:
Easy to clean when I line with hay. Just remove the hay and put new hay in.
Chickens get fresh air
No smells
Lots of room under the coop for them to get out of the heat and rain and other bad weather.
They can still have dirt baths under the coop when it rains
I can place feeders and waterers under the raised coop
All materials used are recycled.
Dislikes
Wish I had a floor that could drop down to clean in the event I don't want to put a hay bedding. The builder (family member) laughed at me when I said described what I wanted and didn't do what I asked. Now he understands why I asked for a "detachable" floor.
