Thank you for your feedback regarding our Over EZ Walk-In Chicken Coop. We understand you have concerns about the number of birds this coop can accommodate. There are a variety of factors that can influence how much actual coop space chickens will need - whether or not they free range, how big their run area is, and how big the chickens are. Standard chickens need about one foot of roosting space per bird. This coop has three 6-foot roosting bars, which can accommodate 6 chickens per bar. If your girls are a bit on the heavier side, they may require more space per roosting bar. As long as chickens are not kept exclusively in the coop - which we don't recommend - this option is a great home for up to 18 standard sized birds.
“I noticed no reviews for this product and I have this coop. I bought it elsewhere 3-4 years ago (before MPC carried it) but I wanted to let everyone know about this awesome coop. Although at first glance it seems pricey, it is an incredible value. It comes in large pieces, like each side, the bottom, and the roof pieces. Everything is pre-drilled and there weren't any mis-drilled spots. This thing is not only easy to assemble, it is rock solid! I fully expect this coop to last 20+ years. I was wanting have it a different color, but the paint is so good, (and they give you touch up bottles, too), that I don't need to mess with it. It is really at least as good as a custom built, on you own site, coop. The only thing I did differently was that I painted the floor with a rubbery surface paint for easy cleaning. (You could also just add a layer of roll on vinyl flooring). And I used a portion of the shipping crate to create a litter box under the (very generous) roosting bars and filled it with PDZ since that is my preferred way to deal with the droppings. The man door is great for cleaning, the access to the eggs can be opened with one hand and the handle turns to "lock" open so you don't have to hold the door open while grabbing eggs. The windows are great and open and shut (with screens on them) for various weather situations. The hardware is great, no need to change it out for better stuff like most coop kits. Literally everything is top quality and well designed.
It is an excellent alternative to custom build coops and it is by far the best quality of "pre-made" coops that I have ever seen.”
Thank you so much Rebecca for this amazing review! We absolutely love that you wanted to share your great experience with this coop. This will be very helpful for our customers. Thank you again!
