We are entering the pre-fab chicken coop market and are looking for feedback!

I think that emphasizing total square footage is a great strategy.

I just wanted to post an update -- I brought the idea to my team about removing our Chicken-Count and instead, providing detailed sqft specs for the Coop, Nest Box, and Pen. Even though it may put us at a slight competitive disadvantage, we all felt it was the right thing to do for the birds and for our customers.
So, I'm working with our packaging team at this very moment to have this revision applied to all future coops we produce.

Thanks again Juneguggena, and to everyone else for bringing this to our attention. =)

@ TalkALittle - Exactly! Pretty sure I have the coop you're describing, ugh.

Gads, I'd love to beta test a new coop design!

Pre made runs would be nice. I'm looking for one that is big that had a some sort of roof and won't fall apart in a year. I'm not a carpenter so my run is really ghetto and I plan on buying a nice big shed in the spring to convert to a chicken castle. Id love a nice run so my neighbors don't have to look at my ghetto fab chicken housing. Haven't had much luck finding anything big enough.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! What size pen are you looking for, and would you want it to be walk-in or just high enough for the chickens?

Walk in 20×20 that could be easily assembled

Nice! Thats a good size =) How many chickens would you want to keep in that?

We are working on developing something new right now, so I will take your feedback to our team!

Hawk, I am so glad you are posting here. Our family is vegan and we are raising chickens as pets. (The eggs will go to friends and neighbors.) I've seen some photos of other folks assembling their vintage red barn coops where the run/pen is on the left side and the nesting boxes on the right while the window and tray still face front. This is reversed from your stock photos and I was just wondering if you could tell me if this would be easy to do or if those people have had to heavily modify.

Additionally, nice job on your branding and marketing. Love the new videos. I hope you decide to make one for each individual coop!

Sometimes I get tired of building stuff or don't want to set something up for a broodie or to isolate a bird for what ever reason. So, a small 2' by 4'-6' tractor on skids that is accessible through the roof and maybe one side door would be a convenient solution when a few dollars spent seems better than doing extra work. If you could break it down into just a few pieces for easy storage when not in use that would be great.
