Our new chicken coop & pen, a walk-in premium, by Producers Pride @ Tractor Supply Co.
This will help us get started until we decide how to properly use the lay-out of our land. We’re also talking to an esteemed farmer about purchasing some cattle, and that requires more attention right now.

Putting mine together now ❤
Got the coop! A few suggestions after putting to together... Not a bad coop but does need some modifications....1. Buy some caulk and caulk it good to eliminate places where water can get in and destroy the wood. 2. Add a couple of joists to the floor to increase the sturdiness. 3. Buy another latch and add it to the door to the nesting boxes. 4. Add foam inserts to close gaps between rafter and corrugated ties. 5. Add Door stops to Nesting Box & Clean Out Door to close the 1/4" gap between the door and the jam. 6. Add Hardware cloth apron or dig a 12" trench to help w/ predators. Says it holds 14 chickens... I have 12 dual purpose hens, it will be fine while they are small but not sure if it's large enough once they reach maturity.

I got this coop last year too. How many chickens are you keeping in it? I have 5 but I am thinking it might be a bit tight. I'd like to extend the run a bit but I am trying to figure out the easiest way.

Pretty sure the gaps between the rafters and corrugated roofing are supposed to be there for ventilation. Maybe add screen to prevent pests from getting in but I’d be wary of sealing them up completely

Thank you so much. How is it holding up? I live in Massachusetts and I worry about the snow but I think the scoop is so cute.
I just bought this coop. To be delivered on Saturday. Thanks for the tour! It looks great!
I just got mine and it does keep disappearing and reappearing on their website, which is frustrating because I want to reread the reviews and questions and answers because I recall people complaining about floor not fitting but I can’t remember details, but someone figured out it was because everything was supposed to be installed either on inside or outside of metal so floor will fit. problem is I don’t remember which. I don’t want to get too far along. Can you answer that?
Hi Bill Thank you for this video! What is the coop made off? Wood, plastic, pvc? Thanks
I just started my build yesterday. I'm almost done but having some trouble getting these roof panel to line up at the peak. It seems one side is always higher than the other. Did anyone else have an issue like this? Any tips?
This coop seems impossible to find or has been discontinued. Any chance you could post the dimensions for us Do-It-Yourselfers?
I am at TSC and they dont have it. Where can I get it?

I ordered ours thru their web site, and had it delivered to their store. But I just looked, and you're correct, I don't see it on their site anymore. I suspect it will return. But if you have it delivered to them, rather than your home, you will need a truck.
