Truly a great coop built by great people. My wife was on a quest to find a chicken coop and we looked at a lot of different shapes, sizes and price ranges. Nothing comes close to these coops. Solid cedar construction and well thought out design makes for a coop that is easy to assemble and will last for years. I am a handyman and do a lot of my own projects and my first thought was I will build my own, but after seeing the quality of construction and design as well as meeting the owners, I quickly changed my mind. I was able to put it together in a little over an hour. They provide all of the materials and tools needed in a single well organized box. We wired around the base of our kids trampoline to create a run area and connected the coop to make a really nice setup for the ladies... We just happen to live 10 minutes down the road from Urban Coop Company and we visited with the owners and got to see the construction process first-hand. What a wonderful group of people! I can't say enough nice things about the entire experience. read more

I ordered a coop several winters ago and had it shipped to me in Anchorage, AK. It was easy to put together, the style and size I wanted for a happy flock, and has proven very durable. I just ordered the snow/storm panels to add to our round top coop - I predict they will be a great improvement to what I've done in the past. I've appreciated the customer service I have gotten because I always require a custom shipping quote. read more

A couple of months ago I bought the Starter Chicken Coop. I spent many hours researching coops, and determined that the ruggedness and quality of the Urban Coop Company's product would meet my needs. Also, not only would I be purchasing a US-made product, but a local one as well (as I live outside of Austin near their location)! I was able to drive over and check out the coops, and talk to Diane, their chicken expert. She was patient and knowledgeable, and even loaned me a lovely brooding pen to use while I waited on my new coop. It was a bit of a challenge to construct the coop, but not beyond my ability. I think the instructions could have been more clear, but I have seen a lot worse! One of the absolute best things about these coops is the food and water delivery systems. Tired of seeing chicken feed all over your coop/yard? Or water mixed in to make a real mess? Well, with this system, you don't have either problem. It is ingenious! My coop stays clean and I don't waste money on food that ends up mixed in with chicken droppings. After a month or so, I had an issue with a couple of the wood joints in the coop. I suspect it was both a construction issue (um, that would be me...), and a manufacturing issue (just a bum piece of wood). I reached out to the owners, and they listened to me, and suggested that they send out their head carpenter to take a look and fix my coop! I suspect they cannot do this for people who aren't local, but what an incredible level of customer service! Not only did the head carpenter come out, but so did the owners! They carefully examined the coop, and I listened as they discussed possible design improvements. They used this not only as an opportunity to make me a happy customer, but also to evaluate their own product. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with this chicken coop, and with the Urban Coop Company in general. Thinking about one of those cheapie coops from China? Don't do it! I highly, highly recommend Urban Coop Company products! I can't remember the last time, if ever, I encountered a business owner so committed to ensuring my satisfaction with their product. Really unbelievable in this day and age! read more

I just ordered and received mine coop. I was horribly disappointed. It showed up with many of the pieces looking as if they had been cut with a butter knife-- shards of wood that splintered out like heavy fraying. I called to ask what I deemed was a reasonable request into the quality and the girl who answered the phone just replied that they had Never! Had! that response before. So I just put the $600.00 mistake together-- after four hours, and I've put coops together before-- and a grossly incomplete video with a chicken song, I had it done. Then the directions for the coop extension basically say take apart half of what you've already done and add the extension. Really. You couldn't show me that part before I put the entire thing together? It.was.hell. And what I thought was going to be a super cute Martha Stewart type planter was really taken over by the waterer- which leaks and is essentially worthless-- and the feeder. No room for plants at all. Just a plant box filled with $69.00 worth of $5.00 in PVC. I've no proverbial dog in the fight- but I'm sorry I wasted my money on such a worthless coop. I'd have done better to save up for the William's Sonoma coop. They finally emailed back and offered to swap out parts-- after! Mind you-days after I said I had already put it together. Really, like I want to undo 5 hours worth of work and start over so I can listen to 'kissing chickens" again for four hours. How they made it this far as a company, I'll never know. I'd be ashamed to have a kid in customer service who's only response was "we have sold over 2,000 coops and we have never had this complaint before" to someone who just plopped down $600.00. Makes Made in China look that much better. I'd much rather be robbed of $299.00 for a worthless coop that goes together in an hour. I'm just sayin' read more

I bought the Urban Coop Company's Backyard coop and extension. Originally, despite the high price, I was very happy, but i had never owned chickens before. Once I got it set up and added chickens, the cons became clear. There is not enough roof coverage; when it rains, inside the coop is the only protection for the birds is in the small roost. Or you could buy their $300 storm panels which, according to the literature, last several years, depending on weather conditions. The next problem - when you have just the Backyard coop, one side has a door for the chickens to exit, and that entire side is removable. This makes it easier to clean, but if you need to reach a chicken on the other side you still need to get on your hands and knees to reach it. I bought the run extension, not realizing that when you add the extension, the only way to open up a whole side is to pull the extension away from the coop. Birds can be hurt if they move while you are trying to get the extension away from the main coop. All-in-all, I seriously regret buying this coop. I had bought more chickens than would fit into one coop, so I ended up finding another locally (Tampa Bay area) that I am much happier with, and it was half the cost. I would not recommend buying this coop. read more

After spending hours and hours researching every type of coop and how they were made and the materials used and reading countless reviews we purchase one from Roost & Root. WOW! Customer service was very helpful and answered many questions. Then the coop arrived a week earlier than expected. Our daughter and son-in-law were visiting and we had a blast assembling it! The material and workmanship are top notch; the directions were clear; and the parts were clearly marked. It is sturdy and our chickens are loving it. I would highly recommend getting the automatic feeder and waterer, too! read more

really wanted to like this company but there are way too many reasons not to. first off the coop was really time consuming to put together and it took 2 of us hours beyond their promise of a quick set up. additionally the quality of the materials just isnt good. the door to the coop is totally falling apart after only 2 years. they also suggest attaching the coop door in a way that it opens at the top and swings down which i thought was just a perfect way for my birds to get their claws caught in the mesh. i attached it so it swings out from the side instead. i paid extra for the built in food and water and could never get any sort of food to work in the tube. i even called to ask how to get it to work and the guy was like, i don't know it usually works. which brings me to their terrible customer service: they present themselves as a nice company that cares about birds but that isn't the way i was treated. the step to the nest box recently fell off (how does that even happen?!) i called and talked to someone that was of no help whatsoever in a solution for me. i finally suggested using a ramp instead of a step. he thought that was a good idea and said, "we can make one for you, you just have to pay for shipping. someone will call you tomorrow" no one ever called but i did get a response to my email about it. they charged me for the ramp and $14!! for shipping. i expressed that my bantams need it to get to the roost (we've been having to put them on there ourselves because without the step they can't make it up. they'll try though and i was afraid they were going to hurt themselves) well this company waited a full week to ship it. wtf??? that's poor customer service and a clear lack of concern for the animals. i wrote them back expressing my displeasure about the situation and of course i haven't heard back. like i said i wanted to like this company and planned to upgrade with one of their bigger coops in the future but i will most definitely look into other options instead. read more

Durable, amazing quality, professional and made in the USA. This coop is amazing and the quality of it is indescribable. I cannot believe how easy it was to put together and how many compliments I have received on it from backyard parties. I love my chicken coop from Urban Coop Company on so many levels. It has made my life so much easier. The easy fill waterer and feeder are priceless. The cedar wood is hands down top quality. I recommend this product to anyone wanting to start with chickens. read more
