Does this appear to be:

1) a decent value?

2) a good cold weather coop?

3) good for 6 hens?

Thanks!

The coop space is 6' x 3' which is a total of 18'. At 4' per chicken that is only big enough for 4 birds. The coop looks to be sturdy and a good value; can't comment on whether or not it would be good for cold weather. Nice looking coop!

That seems like a lot of money to me. Are those skinny legs made with treated wood?

It's really pretty and looks convenient what type of birds do you have? How many? and what area/weather do you live in?

How are you going to get in there to clean it out?

On the large Capecodder, it says 84 sq ft and big enough for 12-15 birds. Do they mean sparrows?
In 10x10 I have 8 standard chickens and they get real upset with such little space to themselves, even when I move the tractor every few days. I am glad breeding season is about over so I will be able to let the hens out.

Seems awfully expensive for the size.

Wow, what pretty coops. The design and thought they put in it is great. If you live in a very snowy area, you would have to constantly shovel around the run in the winter so it doesn't get socked in with snow. It drifts here in feet sometimes.

Pretty, as in expensive, too small, not convenient to clean or interact with your birds, you cannot see them to ensure they are happy and healthy every time you are out w/them and those skinny legs...maybe good for two standard size hens, three tops.
