is this a good COOP?

Nest boxes should be lower than the roosts.

No prices but the construction looks sound enough.

Based on the dimensions they give, I think these coops are still small for the number of chickens they claim will fit, but these coops are bigger than many I have seen on CL. I am always leery though because you just don't know what the quality really is until you can put your hands on it, and that may be too late.

But I know that you can do much better and save money by shopping around for competitive prices on materials, even finding recycled lumber to use, and building your own coop. It takes some basic building skills, a few hand tools and some patience, but it is tremendously rewarding to build your own coop that exactly fits your needs; as opposed to taking someone else's idea of what a coop should be, and trying to make your plans fit the coop...

I get the feeling that this coop was designed and built by people with little or no experience with chickens, and it kinda looks like some house out of a doctor seus book. But the construction still LOOKS [emphasis on looks, it could be held together with crazy glue] solid, it would be a good coop for someone living in uber suburbia with wikid uptight neighbors. The design doesn't look terribly practicle for any sort of chickens and though it could be modified I'm sure it's going to be expensive and for whatever their charging you could either buy a more practicle coop or build your own. I'm always a big proponent of building your own coop, simply because i think it's fun, and when something breaks you know what went wrong and how to fix it.

I agree with what was said by others, this is not an appropriate chicken coop, and its probably quite expensive too.
You should just build one yourself, its really not that hard. You probably have some experience with chickens already and you can make use of them when building a proper chicken coop.

yes thank you everyone for your opinions, I have decided that I am going to build my own coop that will give the girls alot of room and be tailored to me specific needs

I will keep everyone posted on the process along the way
