"It’s cute and light weight and movable which was what I was looking for."
"It’s a nice coop, but has some flaws in my opinion. It does not have a floor in the coop, which will definitely make cleanup hard and I will be building a base for it so it’s not just sitting on the group. The roosting bars are round and narrow, so I will be replacing them with wider, flat bars...."
