“Once the correct coop was sent, it was easy to put together. Chickens like it and I know they are secure inside. I don‚Äôt like the way one has to take out the trays to clean but it can be done with a little patience. All together, I would recommend this coop. I now have two!!!!”
“Very easy to assemble, it is the best chicken coop you can buy for preassembled. The girls like it and enjoy sleeping in it. The only problem is the cleaning of the coop. The base trays are much too thin, and when filled with bedding and droppings the aren‚Äôt very stable to carry to empty. Also under the base trays there are 4 wells the size of a medium bowl. When you spray out the coop to wash it these wells fill with water poop and bedding from the sides and the water doesn‚Äôt drain out. We had to take a drill and make several holes so there wasn‚Äôt standing water under the birds. I would also like it better if the nest boxes were in hinges or attached more permanently. They often come loose and fall off when we collect eggs because they are only held in place by a flap. It‚Äôs great for weatherproofing and is a safe place to roost. I appreciate that it won‚Äôt rot or fall apart.”
“Seems to be a good home for my chickens. I only wish there was a large door in the back above the clean-out door or at least a window to be able to see my chickens when they are in the coop.”
“Love the coop and my babies are safe from predators! Cleaning is easy with the pullout drawer. The perching bars were too short so they keep falling and need to be modified, but that‚Äôs my only complaint. Otherwise it‚Äôs a great purchase.”
“For a small flock of backyard chickens, there really is no better design than the Formex (IMHO). Quick assembly and disassembly. Pressure-washable. Easy to service and clean. Comfortable for the birds. Splinter- and stain-free. I built a stand out of 4x4's for mine with a ramp, and mounted the feeder and waterer on the legs. All-in-one chicken castle. Worth the money.”
