Broody Chicken Coop with 2m Run

Excellent build quality and super service. Ordered and collected from shop on same day. Could not have asked for more.

The coop is just what i expected strong and well made. The only disappointing thing was it was delivered over 2 days which seemed strange and disappointing.

On the whole I was very pleased with the build quality.

Really pleased with the broody coop

I hate self build, often because the instructions are unclear with bad diagrams, which can be made worse if there are no predrilled holes, and because I’m awful with woodwork.

Build:

I score the build of the broody chicken coop 2 ducks (zero bring eggcellent and 1000 being an Argos ‘easy build bed’). Every time I say ‘What the duck’ at the instructions, ‘ducking bell’ because I need a third hand, or any other ‘fowl’ language a duck point is added.

-Were the instructions clear? I don’t think I’ve ever had clearer instructions. Simple with helpful photos not bad diagrams.
-Easy to find the right screws? None of this use part/screw a/b/c from a single bag of multiple bits. Clear instructions to use a screw size, with each screw size arriving in a bag that has been clearly labelled for idiots like me. I also like the screws being referred to by size not just another part number.
-Enough screws? Extra provided, perfect if you lose one.
-Easy to know where to put screws? Predrilled holes made this so easy. No guessing, and every screw is straight because of the predrilled holes.
-Why the two ducks? Someone was really smart and lovingly included an electric screwdriver bit just in case we didn’t have one. After slightly struggling with half the build because I’m using a massively worn bit I found it (thank you!) but maybe add in the instructions that you think ahead of me :) Two- A washer is needed for attaching the chain which wasn’t included (Where the duck is the washer?). Luckily I had one to hand.

In conclusion, I’ve built a single run extension that has taken longer, and was way more difficult to build, than the entire broody coop plus extension. This is an easy and well thought out design.

Quality:

Eggcellent. I wish we had brought our main coop from here. Better wood used than most places.

Design:

Some eggcellent ideas with the coop, the removable top part of the run, the easy removed back panel for cleaning, and good quality latches on the run/coop.

One massive difference on the run is the mesh is small enough to stop birds entering. On a different run bought during ‘flockdown’ we’ve had to add our own mesh to stop birds getting in.

Well thought out design.

Customer Service: Stupid me put in the wrong address for delivery, but a quick email had that promptly corrected with no issues.

Summary: Well designed and easy to build isolation coop and great customer service.
