I was going to return it because I did not remember reading anything about resting Bars for the chickens and the more reviews I read , the more concerned I became about my choice. However, I was pleasantly impressed by how heavy and sturdy this chicken coop is and the fact that there are two resting bars for the chickens. Now, I am glad that I followed my instinct and did not send the coop back. The only complaint I have is there are no latches for either of the doors,  but that is a simple fix for me, along with sealing the wood.
