U-MAX Large Chicken Coop 100" Outdoor Wooden Hen House with Wheel and Run, Chicken Tractor Poultry Cage with Nesting Box

I found it easy to assemble, in about 4 hours. While assembling I added corner braces and straps on the cage for strength and stability. Wasn't necessary, but will make it last longer. I added hinges and latches to the top forward screen for ease of access to chickens, water and feed. Most advantageous feature are the wheels; easy to put on, move the coop, then remove. I put mine side by side since during assembly of the second one I put the doors and tray on opposite sides as instructions called for. For the price, I am happy with my purchase.

Our poor chickens have only been in this coop for less than a week and the joints have splintered apart and the wood is warped. Do not purchase this if you value your chickens as they will not be safe in it. The seller will also not bother to refund you despite the poor quality of their product. We even water sealed this to give it a little more life to it. Waste of money. Update to this review. It’s gotten even worse after using metal. Legit metal to try and keep this thing together. You can’t wheel it anywhere and the box for the eggs has started to fall off. The seller wanted to give me $30 for wood glue. I’m sorry. If screws and metal won’t hold this together what makes them think glue will? I’m beyond livid.

It was pretty easy to assemble, except for a few pieces that didn’t line up correctly. The run door came apart after 1 move. I decided to waterproof stain the whole coop before getting chickens. It didn’t help at all. It weathers pretty quick with the super soft wood. The nesting box roof swelled and separated the first rain we had (we even put a tarp over it so it wouldn’t get too much water on it, still didn’t help, the moisture in the air alone caused the damage). My husband and I are pretty handy, so we chalked and reinforce the coop, and since then, it has been great. Where the wheels are, there is a gap, so small animals can get in/out of the run. The door to the coop part also warped pretty bad with the moisture. All in all it’s working for what we need it to, but it definitely needed some outside assistance and reinforcements to keep it together. It is light weight and very easy for 1 person to move. When assembled, there was a gap at the bottom of the nesting boxes, just really make sure those get filled and covered. The nesting boxes need to be warm, dry, and cozy for your hens to lay. The pull out tray doesn’t glide easy, so just be aware of that too, it might also need some reinforcements. I had a few chipped pieces of wood and had to reattach the wire fencing back onto it. The coop works fine, just remember that it’s cheap materials. It’s a good starter if you have some knowledge to reinforce it.

This was easy to assemble. This moves well, but be careful as it feels like it is going to fall apart.My husband had to reinforce several areas. The "roof" over the nesting area continues to Crack in the heat of summer. We have had to glue it several times. We finally took some extra shingles we had to put over the nesting area to keep it dry.We do not plan on buying another when this one retires.

For the price I would have thought the coop would have been sturdier. It is cheap particleboard like everything else these days. The instructions are a little misleading the photos don’t match up with what you actually have to do in a couple of the steps. There is almost no way to put this together by yourself you have to have clamps and another person holding pieces while you put them together. I do not recommend putting six chickens as advertised I would only do three. Overall it does what it says it is portable which is nice but for the price I was expecting better quality.

Not sure why this had any bad reviews. It seems to be quality wood and hardware. Wheels come off with a simple push of a button. Once assembled properly it is sturdy and rolls nicely over rough terrain. It is easly large enough for 4 chickens without adding an additional run. I would say up to 6 but must leave them out more. I am extreemly pleased and would 100% recomend it to others. Only thing missing is a bar to close the coop without opening the run. I will be adding that myself.

Extremely cheaply made when I 1st put it together it broke just assembling. They offered to pay for the wood to fix it. Which I never received the money, 2 days ago I was moving it and it broke again. I have contacted and requested a refund and return yet have not heard anything from them I have spent in additional $100 fixing the broken parts my recommendation would be to spend your money on a better coop.

The chicken coop arrived with broken pieces, and missing several key components. And there WERE NO PRINTED ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS! The overall design is pretty good; but the components are light-weight and will not stand up to long-term use. I had to add pressure-treated runners to the bottom, just to keep the untreated wood off the ground (and make the whole thing more rigid/sturdy.EDIT: I reached out to the company about the broken/missing parts. They sent a replacement "Box A" so now I have the needed parts. Changed rating from 1 to 2 stars.
