We got this to add on to our big chicken coop as a run. It has the new chicks in it until they get big enough to be with the original hens. Like everyone has said, it doesn’t come with enough wire but we wanted to reinforce it at the ground so using our extra roll of chicken wire we keep on hand wasn’t a big deal. We used our own zip ties for about half of it because the head on the ones that came with the coop were too small for us to see well enough to get the tail end put in the right way each time. It took less than an hour to put the poles together but about four to do the wire. It’s very sturdy and we like the design. I would recommend this pen.
