Pretty easy to put together. I did it myself in about an hour and a half. Someone who knows what they are doing could do it quicker. I have 3 chickens. 2 americaunas and an olive egger. Once they were full grown the coup was too small for them so we built an "addition" into the coup. Just some extra space for them to roam around in. Overall, we're happy with it but it is pretty small.
