- "It is perfect for my needs and provides a decent sized living space."

Here is my feedback on the Sussex Coop. I purchased two coops one for myself and one for my daughters care home. The one at the care home is not yet set up but I am convinced will bring great joy to the young adults who live there once they get their chickens. I brought mine as a bit of an extravagance. I already have a larger coop but felt that my three bantams were being a little bullied by the 7 regular sized chickens. Therefore I decided to buy another coop and found yours on the web site after doing a google search.

It is perfect for my needs and provides a decent sized living space. As with my other coop one of the prime reasons for buying this particular model is that they can get up in the morning and roam about in the 'run' whether I have actually got out of bed and let them out or not!! They then wait for myself or one of the farm hands to open the run and let them out into the grass area where they can spend a happy day scratching around before going back to bed. I was impressed when it was put together by he amount of doors and the easy access to various parts of the coop and after the 1st night everyone seems happy

- "We bought the Sussex coop for Mum's birthday present and she loves it!"

We have been very pleased with chicken coops direct and would definitely recommend your company. We bought the Sussex coop for Mum's birthday present and she loves it! We were very impressed with how easy it was to assemble. Also, specifying a delivery day, and delivering to my brother's house, did not pose a problem to you at all. We have just bought 2 hens and they have settled in very quickly - now they have got used to the ramp up to the house, they keep going in and out of it all day and peering out of the window at us! Hopefully it won't be long before they give us some eggs.We were very grateful for your guidance on keeping and selecting hens, as we're relatively new to keeping hens, and it saved a lot of time searching for the information on the internet. It was really good to be able to look at which breeds would be happy to be kept in a pen, and which ones needed to be more free range.Thank you for your excellent service! I'm sure we'll get many years of pleasure out of the coop, and our new hens!

- "A sturdy coop, well-made which also looks good."

Ordered a Sussex coop late Wednesday afternoon via email and it was delivered first thing Friday morning by City Link - most impressed by that (especially with the delivery driver placing the three packages where I wanted them). After checking all parts were there I decided to give it a coat of preservative before I put it together (which I would recommend doing). Took me just under an hour to put it up with the help of two very excited grandchildren, again, most impress with the outcome, a sturdy coop, well-made which also looks good. It's now the home of three Warrens (Poppy, Mama and Gabriella -- named by the grandkids - not me!!) who have settled in nicely. Would I recommend Chicken Coops Direct - Most Certainly - you do what it says on the tin - from start to finish - also your follow up procedure/support, along with your information sheets which we found to be most useful and outstanding. A SMALL COMPANY WITH A BIG HEART.

- "I am over the moon, it looks fantastic!"

Thank you so much for all you patience with me when ordering the Sussex chicken house. I am over the moon, it looks fantastic ! It was delivery very promptly, when you said, and it took me and my husband 35mins to put together from start to finish, with the help of a cordless screwdriver I might add. The instructions were so easy and clear. Well done to you both and once again thanks for all you help. You have taken away my fear of ordering over the internet.

- "The coop is perfect, instructions for putting together were clear and we did it easily."

Thank you so much for all your help with our Sussex Chicken Coop! A few hiccups with the delivery company were swiftly sorted by yourselves and you kept me fully informed at all times. The coop is perfect, instructions for putting together were clear and we did it easily within 50 mins. I bought this coop as it had an upstairs which hopefully will make life difficult for the foxes :) My four chickens are very happy in their new home!"

- "The older one which we have had for a year still looks as good as the newer one."

Dear Maria, I am delighted with my Sussex chicken coop. This is the second one I have ordered from you. I ordered it on Sunday night and it arrived on Tuesday on the Isle of Wight! Brilliant. I noticed that you have fixed the one design defect I noticed from the first one I bought and that is making the ladder removable so it's easier to move to coop around. The coops look lovely in our orchard. The older one which we have had for a year still looks as good as the newer one and there is no sign of any deterioration to the wood or roof.

We bought the second coop because one of our hens is broody and is sitting on 6 eggs so we moved the other 2 hens to the new coop which was very easy because both coops are identical and they didn't notice! Thank you so much and thank you for all the additional information you sent about keeping chickens which is really useful.

Maintenance:

Our wooden coops are treated with a base coat of wood preservative. This is a primer coat and as with all outdoor wooden structures, particularly in our harsh weather conditions, we strongly recommend that you treat your coop with a high quality wood preservative prior to placing outdoors and that you re-treat your hen house at least once a year (preferably before the winter season) to maintain the applied preservative and water repellent properties.
