Extremely easy to put together, though it does come fully disassembled. Took me, a single female, about 30 minutes. Great value for the money. Your chickens would have to have an additional run or free range, this is simply an overnight coop to protect them from predators/elements (and nesting boxes for them to lay eggs in during the day). Very easy to clean, though I put a hinge on the roof instead of nailing it down for easy access to clean. Someone was giving me ten chickens so I bought two of these but each night 8-9 chickens sleep in just one. They range in breed (and therefore size) but this coop definitely fits more than what I expected. Great buy! There are nine chickens in the coop in this photo - one in each nesting box and the. Seven in main body of coop.
