Pets Imperial® Savoy Large Chicken Coop with Two Nesting Boxes, Easy Cleaning Pullout Tray and Opening Roof (Double Nesting Box)

This is a pretty nice chicken coop. Easy to assemble. A few issues with the construction: the roof trim piece was cracked in several places and the gang plank is cheap construction. The pull out drawer that’s used to clean is cumbersome if you use any straw or shavings. The roof is well covered and heavy wood. Overall a good coop for starter birds.

Put this together this afternoon. I was able to assemble it on my own with just a few moments of help from my son. I will probably be reinforcing the nesting boxes because I can see that the floors might come loose. Not a huge issue though. Also the floor "drawer" was very difficult to push into place. I actually had to sand down some edges and really use some elbow grease to get it in, but I would rather that than it be loose and flimsy. Just because I am extra I will probably go through and add some insulation to help keep my ladies cool this summer and warm this winter but we will see. We have not put the chicks in the coop yet as they are still too young but we are very excited to see how they like it once we do!!

Edit: I also want to say their customer service is horrible. I have been dealing with them to try to see if there is anyway we can be compensated due to the quality since it has been less 6 months and we are having to replace the coop. They only e-mail in the middle of the night (12-1am) so that you can’t actually have a conversation with them. I sent them photos of the coop. And at one point they asked if the coop arrived in the photographs. I asked them to further explain because obviously it arrived. They said they just needed me to say yes or no. So I said yes the coop arrived. Then they sent back a long e-mail about how since I said it arrived in that condition (I said no such thing) and I was outside my 30 window to report it that they couldn’t help me. They also said because I had made emergency modifications for the safety of my flock that I voided any chance at compensation. We were super excited about this coop, and the reviews we read were decent. However, we have had this product since March and we are already looking into replacing it. We have had to make numerous modifications including a new roof and new nesting box lids because they leaked, we have had to add supports to the nesting boxes because they are flimsy and sagged several inches (without a chicken in them) if not supported. The door also broke off and we had to use a board to secure it so it does fall off and allow the flock to escape or predators to get in. So it is no longer a functional door. Just spend the money and purchase a high quality coop or build one your self. We could have easily bought or built a quality coop with the time and money we have wasted on this coop trying to make it work.

It's smaller than what you think. In the pictures, you're thinking "Wow! That's a good size!" Nah! It's like 1/2 or 1/3 the size I mentally envisioned/thought it'd be despite reading the dimension sizes in front of me on the screen. As a first-timer to having chickens, it'll give you an idea of what's good/bad, but honestly, build your own! I know, if you're thinking "it'd be a good starter piece to learn from" the moment you start unboxing it, you're already going to regret buying it, especially for the price! Take the time, build your own out of better materials. The cedar wood might as well be bamboo! (Yeah, it's THAT cheap of material!) The design is nice & decently straight forward, but because of the scale of it/materials used to accommodate its size, flimsy as anything & will break so easily.

I’ve had this coop for awhile now so I feel good about writing a review. It was fairly easy to put together, instructions were pretty clear. It was slightly miss made but it works, I love the fact that the roof opens up and the poop pan is a great idea but the house is a little miss made so the pan is hard to slide in and out. I think I have more chickens in it than it says it can hold but some are bantam breeds I have 13 chickens, 9 regular size and 4 bantam size. They have no problem all fitting inside the coop but most choose to roost on top of the coop at night. That’s fine because I have the coop setting up on concrete blocks and have built a tin shack around it to house the coop and all my fed buckets. I can’t really attest to the weather proofing because I did build a roof and walls around it for further protection from the elements. It’s been a good little coop for my purposes.

Overall, the coop is “ok”. The coop on its own 3 star product. The positives: it has an excellent design. There are several ways to access various parts of the coop. Additionally, it is very easy to assemble. It can be assembled by one person in a few hours. A second person helping can significantly reduce the time required for assembly. The coop can adequately house 6-8 chickens. It is quite portable. Fully constructed, I am guessing it weighs no more than 30-40 pounds. The negatives: It uses low quality materials. The boards/frame are very thin (weak) and could be broken by a small child. With that in mind, be prepared to protect and fortify the structure. We are making several modifications in hopes that the structure will survive wind, rain, and snow. Even with modifications, I am not sure how many seasons the structure will last.

We waffled on the price and buying online, but we are not savvy enough to build our own and this is way cheaper than getting someone else in town to make one. We already have an enclosure so this was perfect. We have 10 chickens and it is perfect. They took to the nesting boxes right away, and I love how easy it is to check for eggs. I especially like that you can pull out the bottom to clean the poop and dirty bedding. The assembly was pretty straightforward, took my hubby and son about an hour to assemble. The only problem was the bottom of one of nesting boxes kept falling down, but that was probably something my husband missed, and it was easily fixed with more nails. We love it.

The wood could be a little thicker, but overall a very nice coop for the money. I added an automatic door in the back and the chicks dig it! 😁 we put it inside the 10’x20’ pen also from Amazon and i is the perfect setup for us.
