OUR new coop is set up! From Roost and Root made in the USA!

I considered that. I live in a part of California where our winters are very mild.

Yeah, sorry for the diversion, was talking about mowin's client.

The weather protection panels work well enough even with slightly colder climates - even though I've since dismantled my coop, I kept the panels and still use them on the parts of the coop that I've kept around, for rain protection. I think my climate is probably about as cold as I'd recommend for one of these coops.

Nice! I have this same setup but did not assemble it yet. We're waiting for the snow to melt and the ground to dry. Probably be awhile. I also got the panels and from what I read, it supposed to protect them from harsh winter. Anyway, I have hardy chickens that did well in a crappy coop in a -9 weather. They had no problem and I am sure this new coop would not be a problem protecting the chickens in the winter either.

We set up our new coop and the chickens love it! We are still in the process of building our run so update pictures to come at a later date... since CA is getting some lovely rain right now our project is halted.
Review of this coop. Took over a month to get this due to demand but worth the wait. Made of delicious smelling cedar! Easy to follow assembly just my hubby and I. Sturdy construction and beautiful end result.View attachment 2147167View attachment 2147168View attachment 2147175View attachment 2147176View attachment 2147178View attachment 2147167View attachment 2147168View attachment 2147175View attachment 2147176View attachment 2147178

I know this post is 5 years old... But how did it hold up? How did you like it after use? I am about to buy one locally (also in northern California) at a much lower cost than retail. Did you add any additional predator proofing? We also plan to add a run, though only starting with 2-3 chickens.

HippieHen hasn’t been around for several years, but maybe we’ll hear from someone else who tried this coop.

If you go ahead and buy one, please let us know how it works for you! I agree with other posts that it needs a serious run addition that is well-protected, but I love the design.
