Safety Information

• Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened during assembly to prevent structural instability.
• Regularly inspect the coop for any loose parts, damaged wood, or compromised wire mesh to maintain animal safety and predator deterrence.
• Position the coop on level ground to ensure stability and prevent tipping. Consider additional anchoring in areas prone to high winds.
• While designed for outdoor use, consider supplementing predator protection in areas with active wildlife, as the wooden frame may not withstand determined predators.
• Keep small children supervised when interacting with the coop and animals.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your chicken coop. An assembly video is provided for visual guidance.

General Assembly Tips:

• Lay out all parts and hardware before beginning. Refer to the parts list in your packaging.
• Use a power drill with appropriate bits for faster and more secure fastening.
• Ensure panels are aligned correctly before tightening screws to avoid misalignment.

Operating Instructions

• Access Doors: The coop features full-size access doors for easy entry into the run area. Secure all dual-latch gates to prevent escape and deter predators.
• Nesting Boxes: The elevated cedar nesting boxes have openable roofs for convenient egg collection. Ensure the roofs are securely closed after each collection.
• Ramps: Scratch-resistant ramps provide easy access for poultry to move between the elevated nesting boxes and the ground-level run.
• Ventilation: The wire mesh construction provides 360-degree airflow. Monitor internal temperatures and provide additional shade or windbreaks as needed based on weather conditions.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the coop to maintain hygiene. The design allows for relatively easy access to all areas.
• Weather Protection: The rain-resistant cedar planks and sloped roofing are designed to withstand harsh weather. Periodically check the roof and wood for any signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary to maintain waterproofing.
• Structural Integrity: Inspect all wooden components and wire mesh for any damage or weakening. Tighten any loose screws and replace damaged parts promptly to ensure the safety and security of your poultry.
• Paint Maintenance: The eco-friendly paint helps protect the wood. Reapply outdoor-grade paint or sealant as needed to prolong the life of the coop, especially in harsh climates.

Troubleshooting

• Predator Concerns: If local predators are a concern, consider reinforcing the coop with additional hardware cloth or placing it within a larger, more secure fenced area. Ensure all doors and latches are fully secured at all times.
• Lack of Roosting Poles: This coop design does not include dedicated roosting poles. If your poultry requires roosting poles, consider installing additional wooden dowels or branches within the enclosed area.
• Weather Exposure: For extreme weather conditions (strong winds, heavy snow, intense cold), consider adding temporary coverings or windbreaks to the wire mesh areas to provide additional shelter.
• Structural Stability: If the coop feels unstable after assembly, re-check all connections and ensure screws are fully tightened. Verify that the coop is placed on a firm, level surface.
