Costco Chicken Coop, a Review

Costco Has Failed Chicken Keeping 101… In So Many Ways

costco chicken coop

A Phoenix Costco has jumped on the urban chicken-keeping bandwagon, selling this coop for $279.  That’s a lot of money for this poorly designed flimsy wood structure with cheap hardware.
Size matters in Phoenix! This coop will house 2 unhappy chickens, but it will also bake them alive in Phoenix summers.
Why it Fails My Approval
Next boxes haven’t a lip on the edge, so bedding will get kicked out resulting in broken eggs.
All the doors are really small making access & cleaning difficult.
Roofing material is a poor choice, especially for Phoenix.
Roost is narrow and too low.
Hardware is cheap & used sparingly, doors will likely warp.
So back to the drawing board friends, and happy coop hunting… elsewhere.

Where Wealthy Chickens Live

If I had one wish, this chicken coop would be it. It’s even built on a hill for drainage, and has real doors and screens too! Something tells me there’s probably electricity and water in there.
I’ve kept this chicken coop dream house tucked away for so long that I have no idea where the pic came from anymore. But whoever designed it… you are my hero!
I can’t even imagine having something this nice for my birds. Hopefully, when this property someday sells the new owner won’t use it for something as stupid as a tool shed, that would break my heart.
