Thinking of buying this coop and could use some help

[sunshine ducky]

Hi everyone, I am looking to buy this chicken coop for my two Cochin chicks when they are older, and was wondering if it looks alright and sturdy enough. Any help is much appreciated thanks for looking.
These are the dimensions: Overall: 41.3"(L) x 35.6"(W) x 47.2"(H)

The sizing is ok for two hens, but keep in mind that prefab coops are usually not very sturdy, can be drafty and flimsy, and overall are not very cost efficient. You could get a lot more bang for your buck by building or converting something into a coop yourself. Notes on this coop in particular: That is NOT enough run space for two hens. You will need to build more, or let them free range for 6+ hours every day. The roosts are a bit low, so you may want to make them higher so that they don't sleep in the nest boxes. You would also probably want to put some proper dividers in on the nest boxes for more privacy and temptation to lay eggs there.

This does not seem predator proof at all, a raccoon will easily get into it.

Believe me you will be trying to sell it after a couple of weeks on your hands and knees.

It looks great for two hens but not if your planning for more in the future. Probably not great quality and drafty.

I think that they are planning to put that coop inside a run. If I am wrong than I agree with you there is absolutely no space, but it’s to small to ever use it by itself and not in a run

You would probably get way more bang for your buck if you build one yourself. It’s not too difficult and there are a lot of tutorials on here.

Big enough as far as coop for 2 hens. Needs more ventilation though (not sure if those tiny windows open up?) Layout's slightly funky - you're going to have bedding shooting down that floor hatch, and roost should sit up a little higher.

You can do better! I wouldn't buy it, or 99% of the premade coops offered out there.

I bought one of those small TSC coops and after 2 weeks I sold it. It was soft wood and fimsy at best. I ended up with a dog kennel setup. It's not nearly as cute but it's sooo much bigger and the girls love it. So do my knees!!!
I traded the blue tarp for a gray one so it looks better now.
