Pets Imperial® Monmouth Large Chicken Coop 6ft 7" in Length with Roof That Opens Suitable for Up to 4 Birds

This coop was super easy to assemble. It’s not the sturdiest but it’s far sturdier than some reviews would have you believe. It’s withstood some summer storms and we added wheels and handles to make it a “chicken tractor” I love it

Received the coop earlier than expected (that was a plus!). Inspected shipment and it was damage free! (which was a surprise per the other reviews) It took about a hour and a half to assemble (with a drill). As I assemble the pieces, I used wood glue along with the screws provided for added stability. All screw holes were pre drilled so there was no cracking of wood when screwing. I did have to remove and reposition the roof hinges, this allowed the roof to be centered and aesthetically pleasing. I also made a base to set the coop on (screwed in) out of pretreated wood to keep the coop base from deteriorating quickly. This base added more stability as well (I highly recommend it). I did also put a cross support between the front and backside to sure up the right-side screen area (I highly recommend this as well). This support also will act as a perch. I am pleased with the coop and the added support I have done to it, I feel as if it will last twice as long and help keep birds in, kids/predators out. The only real disappointment I can express was on the quality of the hardware provided. I have not changed the hardware as of yet but I am sure it will be something that needs to be done in the near future. If you but this coop, build a base and install a cross support and you will be happy (cost me under $20).

Very flimsy. Everything was crooked and wouldn’t go together correctly. All metal hardware came out of the box covered in a thick crusty substance. We can’t even use the opening top of ours because of the poor quality. All the predrilled holes were off and the wood was too thin to make our own holes. Wood was split in several places before we even screwed them together. We figured that was a small problem we could deal with so went ahead and put it together which was a bad idea. Also there were big gaps in the wood once put together so not at all weather resistant. My poor bunny would be constantly berated by the wind while she was inside the house portion because of all the gaps. We have to lift up the entire hutch everytime we go to open or close it because the latches don’t match up. We ended up using cinder blocks to try to lift up one side and make it even. Would not recommend to anyone planning to keep this outside even in mild weather. I struggled back and forth with the company for months trying to return the item and they basically just put me off and kept asking for the same photos over and over again until the purchase was out of the return window and then was just like ‘sorry it’s too late’. Extremely poor customer service. Don’t trust them to fix anything because all they want to do is blame you for their poor quality product. I’ve bought dozens of items from Amazon and this is honestly my worst experience ever. $250 wasted on a hutch that I couldn’t even use the way it was supposed to be used. I’ve never had a problem with purchasing from Amazon but this experience has made me wary of making other purchases. Please, buyer beware. These people will not own up to their faults and make things right. Better hope you get lucky and your hutch doesn’t come with as many problems as mine did because even showing photo evidence is not enough to make them do something.

The coop arrived in two boxes and they were not damaged. It assembled very well and the instructions were adequate. There were two 1.5” hinges missing so I had to run to Ace to grab those. Everything fit together firmly and solid. It’s a great design and has been well thought out. I’d recommend this to any of my friends.

You get what you paid for, already understood when purchased. Easy to assembly. Instructions, meh. Arrived in two boxes, boxes were crushed, nothing broken. I used power tool for screws, cracked wood. Used power screw driver (drill) until 1/8 inch from wood, then used regular screw driver (just to make sure). Wife read instruction to me, states, "Do not use power tools." The screws that came with product were not for outdoor use, used same size decking screws, no problems. Coop too small for four chickens, but they free range and only roost at night. Tight fit but they stay warm. Purchased, Aspen Pet Chicken Fort Run, couple days later and attached to outside run.

My husband and daughter put this together, so I cannot address the issue of ease of construction. What I will say though is that describing it as "flimsy" is being altogether too generous. On the second day we brought the hens home, a piece on the back broke off. Several of the locking hinges didn't lock and instead had to be propped up by hands or sticks, defeating the whole point of locking hinges. One of the hinge ends had no place to put it, adding to the general problem. Thus dealing with the coop has definitely become a two-person task. Yesterday the ramp that goes from the bottom of the coop up to the roosting area came off. The hinges and especially the wood are cheap, thin, low-grade and I can't imagine this thing holding up for more than 3-6 months at best. The ramp should also have more horizontal wood struts for the hens to get a real hold, because they just slide down in between each one. They are now scared to go back on the ramp since it fell. On the positive side, there is a drawer and top opening to collect eggs and deposit said hens back into the coop at night. There is also another shallow drawer to pull out to empty poopy pine shavings right into a wide bucket and then into the compost. It has a fair area that is below the roosting area where the chickens can be, although I will say with four hens -- not completely adults -- it's a pretty tight fit.

I bought this for a feral cat we trapped to spay. It’s perfect. Needed a recovery spot and she did great. Now we have it for fostering kittens or other feral cats. It’s inside my shop. Easy to assemble.

We liked the quality of the material and it was very easy to put together. We only have three chickens and I think the coop is a descent size for them. Anymore and it would be too small. The run was shorter than we wanted , so we just added additional run space onto it. Overall a nice start coop. If we decide to do more chickens we will need to expand.
