OverEZ Chicken Coop

My wife talked me into buying a chicken coopa few months back and after doing some research, we ended up buying the OverEZ Cottage Coop. I arranged for pickup, myself, since we are local. Took me 2 minutes to pick up the coop, itself. The gentleman in the warehouse had me back up to the door, and he helped me load the product, and I was gone! In and out! Once I arrived home, it took me less than an hour to build the coop, itself. I have a construction background and do a lot of work around our property, myself, but ANYONE could put these together fairly quickly! I was pleasantly surprised with how EASY AND QUICK it was to put together with no help! The only tool I needed was a hammer and the very last piece. The piece of wood at the top that slides on to connect the two side pieces was a

So at first glance this seems like it would be a nice coop, and partially it is. They put a lot of thought into it. For one, it’s too expensive. You’re better off buying a shed and adding a few pieces to make for chickens. Second, our coop came with the cheapest screws you could give someone and we’re not properly predrilled so we had to use our own. Three, you should be able to walk in better and open windows from outside. Our nesting box door was altered so they did send a new one. Customer service was very good, always appreciate that. But the kicker today is that the roosting bars need sanded and pieces of wood removed that’s falling off them. The roosting bar Injured one of my birds!! I am not happy today. I had to peel pieces of peeling wood off the bars and sand several times for sa

We purchased the XL overez chicken coop. It was delivered faster than expected, which was nice. When it arrived, the crate seemed to be completely intact with no damage. However, upon unpacking it, we did find several damaged pieces. It was not anything that we couldn’t work around, so we continued to assemble the coop. Overall, it seems to be a quality piece. It went together, pretty smoothly as well, with the exception of some warped pieces requiring quite a bit of finagling. One major disappointment is the quality of the screws that they included. They are extremely prone to stripping, and required significant forced to get through the boards. About halfway through the installation, I switched over to some torx head assembly screws that I had left over from a deck project, and that made

I did a lot of research on chicken coops. Most of them felt like balsa wood and were super flimsy. I settled on Over EZ chicken coops even though they were twice as much than what I felt was the next best coop. First the pros: it is extremely well built, heavy and sturdy. I initially was going to buy a small coop. I changed my mind and decided on the new Coop in a Box. I couldn't see any discernible differences between the small coupe and the coop in the box in quality from online pictures. The best part was the coop in the box came with an outdoor run. I knew this run would need hardware cloth on the top bottom and sides, I knew the window would need hardware cloth on the screen, and I knew the footing that the coop sat on would need hardware cloth. What I didn't expect were the little di

The packing of the chicken coop was subpar.The coop was placed on 2 separate pallets and banded together. The driver and I had to cut the bands and take the coop off the truck piece by piece to prevent further damage unloading. I had to repair the base due to damage as a result of the packing method to ship. A shipping crate would have been more appropriate.
