not all commercial/shop bought ones are like that,the one that can personaly recommend as we have one is a omlet eglu- http://www.omlet.us
we have the eglu cube and the largest run,and to be honest they are expensive but they are totaly worth it,the tall hooked pin that locks the door on the run isnt that secure though [a fox managed to lift it out of the hole and idealy it shoud be bent or locked somehow if want to avoid maulings].
the bars are thick and very strong-like those on a large rat cage or a ferret cage,and the run has flat horizontal bars running all the way around the run which is to stop animals from digging in and chickens from getting out.
the coop has a poo tray which can easily be slid out,cleaned and put back in,cleaning is no hassle and geting eggs is very easy to as the door just unlocks.
its not wood based so doesnt get all the smells soaking in,lasts a lot longer so makes the money worth it.
the runs dont realy hold as many as they say they do.
woud personaly avoid going to the generic pet stores for chicken coops and runs and instead look at companies who are only dedicated to chucks,so they know the needs of chucks very well.
sorry dont know of any other besides omlet [and only knew that one as its also UK based to].
nice coop 70monte.
