We are very pleased with our purchase. We are using it as a roosting house for our two medium sized hens. It took us two nights to get them from trying to roost in their old spots and go into the house but they now have the hang of it. Only took 1 day for them to choose to lay in the new house.  The open side roof makes it easy to get the eggs.  We chose not attach the pen that came with it, since we placed the house in our already covered/caged, pen.
