FREE Solar Nite Eyes With Purchase

Just right for the smaller backyard flock (recommended for 4-6 chickens), the Ware Chick-N-Hutch is designed for years of function. It has a hinged waterproof shingle roof and front panel for easy access and cleaning. It also features removable wind guards, an adjustable perch, a rear egg door, pull pan, and coated .5 x 1-inch floor wire, making it a perfect blend of convenience and value.

Made with the finest exterior-grade plywood with a non-toxic red stain, this hutch displays excellent craftsmanship. It arrives ready-to-assemble, needing only a screw driver. The assembled hutch measures 3 ft. 6 in. L x 2 ft. W x 3 ft. 2 in. H. The cage wire size is 1 x 1 inch with a center wire door.

Before purchasing we ask you to please see our Customer Service Page on the return and warranty policy for all wooden chicken coops and rabbit hutches.

Pros: open air bottom
Cons: not super sturdy, not much protection from elements
I bought this on clearance, and use it as a brooder and as a broody-hen breaker, quarantine, etc. I feel the need to cover at night with a shower curtain as it's a bit too airy for chicks in May/June in MN, but I feel like I have gotten my money's worth. I still feel the need to build something else as my short-term option while raising chicks that offers better rain protection.

Pros: GREAT for Quails!
Cons: Pan doesn't slide that easily...
This hutch Is GREAT for quails! We got it at TSC and it was pretty easy to set up. We have four full-grown Coturnix quails in it, and they still have room to run around. The Quail don't use the bar in it, they just hide under it. We currently have the pan on the ground under it, it didn't slide out that easily. The wire floor is great for quails. They've never gottten feet stuck. We keep it up on the porch were it's somewhat protected, I don't think it would do that great out in the open. If I were to keep chickens in it, I think It would hold 2 max.

Pros: Non that I can think of...
Cons: Hard to clean, parts didn't fit, too drafty and much more!
I bought a "Chick-N-Hutch" from a local Tractor Supply, the sales man said that it would easily hold 4-6 full sized hens. When I was putting it together, the roost bar was too small for the hutch! Then when it came time to put on the roof, the hinges did NOT line up and the chain to hold the roof open was on the wrong side of the hutch. I was able to fix the coop with a drill and some screws. When I final got my six week old girls out in the coop, they were fine for a little bit, then by six-teen weeks old they already out grew the hutch. every time it rain, they got rained on too. By October the wood was pealing off and the dropping tray would never slide out with ease nor would it go back in easily. In November, I finally built a new coop and burned the old one.

Got the last one on display at TSC. Only thing I ever got there that I don't like. Cheaply made, missing some screws. Ducks and chicks do NOT like to walk up the open door ramp (the tiny one or the full face of it). Tray does NOT slide in and out smoothly. Left outside with ducklings as a sleeping option but they always chose to sleep under it rather than in it. Worked as a temp solution for chicks and for transporting ducks in the pick-up. But that's about it.

Even if you only have general carpentry skills you could have built one about 3 or 4 times larger for the price you pay for this.

When I was looking to build a coop I saw this coop for sale at tractor supply. I liked the look of it but not the price and small size. I built my own based on this design but scaled it up to 4 x 8. Check out my album pics. Still cost me about $400 but it is one nice coop

This is an interesting little coop. It looks like it was built over the plans available in the public domain hardback " How To Build Pet Housing". Numbered, measured diagrams w/supplies list. The books author says he hopes someone will take the plans and make a business out of it. Perhaps Chick-N-Hutch has. There are a lot of neat plans in this book with the same excellent instructions. Duck, dog, cat, outside rubs, etc. A great little book.

that thing is only big enough for one or two small birds.. or maybe as a brood box for temporary. My DSIL uses one inside her coop to acclimate new chicks. Those coops are cheap, not predator proof and certainly not weather proof.

Consider it made 4'Dx8'Wx4'H. With kiln dried pine. It would make a nice warm weather coop or growout pen. Yeah, you would need 5 sq. ft. per large fowl youngster and that limits the number a bit, but for backyarders who are doing staggered hatches or just replenishing their flock, it would work.

Update on weathering............it has NOT held up to two years of ordinary weather in NC. Roof rotting through, frame warping, hardware rusting. Not sure I can even transport birds in it at this point.
