Exactly! That's what I am gathering from real-life reviews. I also like that the one side opens completely for easy clean up. Seems like it would be easy enough to elevate on some bricks or even a platform and create additional run space underneath. Like there are actually more configuration...

I am now sort of derailing this original convo but your comment about that producer's pride coop got me looking on TSC again and I looked more closely at this one- https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/producers-pride-hill-country-coop The run is too small, but I'm realizing if I end up...

The coop/run combo kit is about 40" some inches wide and 84" long I believe. I like the idea of putting a basic roof over the whole thing. Would be easy to cover the "lily bed run/yard" with one of those. Home Depot would have to cut it or else I would need to see if they could deliver it. The...

I would feel MUCH better about having them fully "enclosed" (roof, sides, hardware cloth apron all around the full run) all day long, but if I don't do the full enchilada I could give them something a little bigger. Like a cross between a run and a free range situation. And then lock them up in...

That’s the one I wanted but they won’t deliver it and I have no way to get it (would need to rent a truck and drive to Indiana, lol). I’m planning on removing all but one of the nesting boxes in the one I’ve got and mounting the roosting bars higher and at different angles to maximize space. I...

I think I saw some of your posts in another thread- so helpful! I'm going to do basically everything you said you did which will hopefully buy me time to build a better coop. I can't let chicken math win because I'm in a city lot so I've got to stay sane or else the entire lot is going to be a...

Yeah I know :( That's sort of the problem, I don't have access or skills for power tools or a truck to haul lumber, haha. I priced out building a coop from scratch (with new materials because I didn't know how long it would take me to acquire scrap) and it was over $600 not including the labor...

Well crap. I was planning on giving it a few coats of vinyl paint and caulking any obvious weak spots, plus mounting the whole thing on pressure treated 4x4s. I live in Chicago so there is plenty of everything weather wise. Where did yours leak- like the sides or roof?

Hi there, I am looking at doing this same set up for 4 birds. I'm in a city as well so I can't build a giant shed that takes up the whole yard. How is this coop and run holding up a year later? Thanks in advance for the insight!

It doesn't end up being a "toy" so much as a treat, but we snag a few willow branches (the thin, whispy parts) from some trees when we go to the park and wind them into a little ball or wreath for ours to nibble on- he goes nuts for them!
