USQuality Control Not as Good as My First Coop from this Company I have had an original Round Top coop since 2017 and it has been great. It was easy to assemble, and the parts fit together nicely. Unfortunately , the Starter Chicken Coop Model 2 that this review addresses is not the value for the money I hoped it would be. The quality of the wood and hardware are very good. They are much better than the foreign coops. However, the assembly was difficult because the panels and doors didn’t fit together well. After careful squaring and leveling panel edges and doors had to be sanded down to open and close properly. Some of the joints held together by staples had separated during shipment. Right now the design doesn’t fit my 4, 7 week old chicks. I purchased ‘booster’ perches until the chicks are big enough to safely access on the coop perch. It appears that a ladder or ramp is needed to reach the perch and egg box. I also had some trouble maneuvering the automatic waterer in place, and will probably need help removing it for cleaning. I do like the automatic feeder, and that the entire front panel is removable for cleaning. Based on my experience, the main area of improvement for the company would be quality control.

USTop Quality and Highly Recommend We recently purchased the Round Top XL coop, which was our second coop from Roost and Root. Could not be more pleased with the quality and attention to detail given in preparing the coop for assembly. My wife and I had no issues with assembly and look forward to our flock enjoying their new space. (Actually I will also enjoy not having the bend over to clean !!!)

USSturdy & Lovely Sturdy, quality coop. Lovely design. Helpful and responsive customer service. We couldn’t be happier. Will likely be coming back for one of those quaint greenhouses as well! Thanks Roost & Root!

USYour chicken coop is well made and… Your chicken coop is well made and heavy enough to last for years. It was easy to put together. The only thing I had to do was replace the latches on the egg door and the other large upper door with lockable latches like you have on the extended run. We have a raccoon problem and unfortunately they are very adept at opening latches. The chickens see to be happy as well. They never missed a laying day with the transfer to the new coop!

USChicago backyard 16 hens We've had hens for 7 years in Chicago, and recently expanded our flock to 16 - so, I started looking for a walk in coop that was a) beautiful and b) functional. The cost of this one was daunting, and worth every penny. The pallet fit into our garage (great delivery service) and we laid everything out and built it on one day. Team of 3. Took my hens some time to adjust, but they're now roosting and laying and happy cluckers. Hardest part was leveling the ground. We paired it with an Omlet auto door and run. Absolutely no regrets.
