Pros & Cons
Pros
- Run included under $200 — unusual at this price point
- Raised coop design with ramp keeps hens off damp ground
- Exterior-access nesting box makes egg collection easy without entering the run
- Lightweight enough to move around the yard for rotational grazing
Cons
- Chicken wire not hardware cloth — not raccoon-proof without modification
- Untreated fir degrades faster than cedar in wet climates
- Realistically fits 2-3 standard hens despite 4-hen marketing claims
- Assembly screws strip easily — use a hand screwdriver, not a drill

Our Verdict
The best budget starter coop for low-predator areas. The included run adds real value below $200, but the chicken-wire construction is the dealbreaker for high-pressure predator zones.
