I have this brand coop for 4 pullets and I’m on here looking for something sturdier and weather resistant. While you can put one of these up in one hour after two-three days of varnish to weatherproof it, you will find a little warping and repairing necessary when temperatures and weather hits. I have had mine now 2-3 months. I have had two repairs in chicken wire to hatch door, sliding front door stuck and wouldn’t open- now opens halfway and closes, roosting bar rest on one side warped and is lifting off, and is not weather tight in storm. I now own a tarp from harbor freight till I can build another. Checking out others. Not sure if I can make it through one winter? That said ok temporary shelter for summer inhabitants. No way is this enough room for 8 as reported. That said my chickens still enjoy it and love free ranging the back yard.

Can I have it after you're done building your next coop?

Yes, 20 sq. ft. would be my minimum amount of room, and I am probably going to end up with something larger. I was just checking in to make sure I wasn't doing the math horribly wrong.The space that I'm thinking about putting it in is bigger than I originally thought, (15x6, or 90 sq. ft.) so that gives me more room to work with. I do like to be able to walk into my coops as well. They will probably end up with at least 30 sq. ft. I also left room for a little bit of chicken math, I have only 7 seramas at the moment. Thank you for all the advice! I will update the thread when I have the coop.
