It's a beautiful, well-made coop, isn't it? Only you can decide if it's what you want to pay for the quality and looks. The chickens don't care. They just want a good place that's big enough to roost, cozy to lay their eggs, keep them warm in winter, cool in summer, and safe from predators. Myself, I'd buy a sturdy shed (even if I have to pay for delivery and setup), and convert it into a coop to my liking. But that does take time, construction skills and tools; and not everyone wants to do that much work on it. Sometimes the price you pay for convenience is worth it, sometimes not.

OverEZ coops are better-built than most other prefabs, but they are woefully underventilated.

Also, I believe that when you look at the dimensions it includes the next boxes so be sure to subtract that when you calculate your square footage needs per bird.
