Now i have been waiting a while to review this coop to see if any other issues occurred and I think it's good to be honest about what $1000 buys you and to be honest I'm a little disappointed. This is my experience with coop: 1) The wood used feels incredibly cheap, its light and easily cracks and breaks. (It cracked in places when putting together and has continued to break in places)
2) The black asphalt roof is significantly coming off the wood lining.
3) The whole run easily floods every time it rains as the pitch and length of the roof isn't long enough.
4) The perches are basically the same level as the coop floor, they should be higher off the ground as they basically live on their poop after a few days.
5) There is zero ventilation in the coop, this may not be an issue in colder climates but in hotter areas they will literally roast when the coop is closed at night.
Overall this really feels like it has come from a cheap Chinese factory and the quality is poor, if there is an upside I have learned what I need for my next Coop and it's definitely not like this Castle !
Cheers James

Hi James, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to review the Castle Coop after using it for a while. We are sorry to hear your disappointed with your purchase.
I noticed in your image that the asphalt roofing has lifted. Unlike some competitors who only apply asphalt to the top, we extend and tuck it under for added protection. This shouldn’t happen, but in rare cases, extreme weather conditions or movement during assembly can cause the adhesive to loosen. We recommend using Araldite glue to secure it back down.
Our coops are designed to be lightweight for easy assembly and mobility, though we understand that sturdiness is important. The raised design helps with drainage, but site conditions can affect water flow in wet weather. Ventilation is provided through the mesh areas and entry points, though airflow needs can vary depending on climate.
We value your insights and will keep them in mind for future designs. If you have any further feedback, feel free to reach out.
Warm Regards, Coops and Cages Team
