Our coops are designed from the ground up for strength along with good looks.  Take a look at the construction details of our coops and compare to the look-alikes on the internet.  Our chicken coops are heavy – averaging 80 lbs per box shipped.  We have rust-proof heavy duty black hardware and carabiners, heavy gauge wire mesh on all the run extensions as well as the doors and windows.  Our chicken coops have structural support under each nesting box.  Other look-alikes have stripped many features to reduce the cost, including leaving the nesting boxes hanging out in the air. Wind, weather, and gravity will cause their nesting boxes to sag and ultimately fail – it just has to. Ours will not fail because they are supported and give extra space in the run for your chickens. In addition, we use FLASHING to prevent rain from getting into the nesting boxes.  The windows on our coops are NOT sliding but rather a heavy duty pop up window that is designed to lock open or to clock closed.  This design is far superior to the wooden sliding windows which warp and become difficult to use within a few short months.  The difference is in the details so look carefully at our coop features as you compare with others.  We appreciate it!
