We're very happy with our 10X12 coop. We'll be using it for meat birds in the summers (Delaware Broilers this year) and as a duck coop in the winters. Due to heavy snow fall here in Montana, I requested this be shipped without the tarp cover. I built a simple but sturdy roof out of 1X4 lumber and plastic roofing panels. Since the tarp would have also covered much of the back wall, I filled in the spaces back there with metal hardware cloth. Wendell was great to work with and we are glad we bought this! I could have made a chicken tractor out of lumber, but this is much stronger and will last forever.

I had a mechanic who helped me put it together and it really was pretty straightforward and he’s quite adept. It’s an incredibly well built tool looking forward to using it. It just came in last week on Thursday and today is Tuesday and so we had on Monday Tuesday we put it together.

I purchased these tractors for my small organic egg and meat farm. Wendell worked so hard to answer all my questions, get me exactly what I wanted to purchase, AND help me get the most affordable freight since I'm on the West Coast. I shopped around. There are other distributors of these coops and some copy-cats. But NO ONE will work as hard for you as Wendell and Home Place Market! I'm in Oregon and I've had so many people come over and ask me to look at these coops. They are getting a lot of attention!! But who cares about that... they work AMAZINGLY WELL! And they're made of super high quality components. My dad and grandfather had fastener companies. I appreciate things that are well-made. Also, I'm not very handy and can't be fixing things every day. I need infrastructure that works hard for me and I don't have to do a lot of maintenance. I want to enjoy the birds and not be worried about their homes! We have really intense predator pressure. These tractors, Premier 1 electric netting, and my wonderful dogs have meant that my beautiful birds are SAFE from predators. This peace of mind is priceless. I'm so grateful and happy to tell anyone who has questions about my experiences with these tractors and the unbeatable customer service at Home Place Market. As soon as I finalize my website, I'll include that for more photos! Thank you Wendell!!!

The 10x12 Alumi-Coop is perfect for my flock. Mine arrived slightly damaged from the loading and unloading during shipping. Wendell was quick to respond, and I got the replacement parts right away.

The coop set-up was straight forward and easy enough. I did it alone, but I would recommend 2 people. A couple of the steps were a little tedious all by myself but would have been a breeze with a partner.
My chickens love it. They get all excited when they see me reach for the handle now, because they know new grass is coming.
They aren't laying yet, so I can't speak to the nesting box, but it looks like it will work very well.
The waterer with the cups is working great. Best waterer I've ever had for my chickens, and I've had a few. This one stays clean, and just exposes enough water for them to get a drink, the rest stays closed off and is bug and algae free.
The feeder, I may still need to play with. My chickens aren't grown enough for me to mount in on the outside, so I mounted it on the inside, and they are making a mess of it. I probably just need to adjust how much comes out, the hopper opening is adjustable.
Moving it is easy for me, but I'm a big guy. My wife, who is petite, found it too hard to move. Same with my 8-year-old son. I think it's a very well-designed mechanism to lower the wheels and lift the front. I don't mind moving it at all.

Last year, my whole flock got killed one night as a pack of stray dogs found a weak spot in my home-made coop/run set-up. This Alumi-coop is essentially Fort Knox. I don't think there are weak spots, everything is made of strong metal for the walls and thick tarp for the cover. Digging would be a dog's only option, and I don't think there is a good solution to that, considering the coop is mobile.

Like it so far looking forward to using it.

Love this new coop. Great for our chickens and easy to move. Homeplace Market was very knowledgeable in helping us decide on what coop would be best for our needs. Highly recommend the product and Homeplace Market.

Just about have everything assembled on the 10x12 Alumi-coop. Right out of the box, the excellent craftsmanship is notable. Every pre-drilled hole lined up perfectly for bolt assembly. The welds are skillfully/throughly placed. All it took was propping the first (front) panel up against a barrel, and installing the first side panel. Each part after was a breeze with clear/intuitive instructions. I did all but the wheel mounts, by myself (rather than propping it up to work “under”, since the mesh blocks access, it’s just safer to have someone hold a wrench from inside, while another works outside for 2-3 minutes, and then it’s done).

We’re gonna put her through a Michigan winter and see how she holds up! Thanks for the great customer service, answering questions, and getting the product shipped out quickly.

I purchased a 10 by 12 for a home without a forklift. The sales rep coordinated with the freight company to arrange pick up using a trailer, and everything went seamlessly. Once home I unpacked it solo and managed to assemble nearly the whole thing in roughly an hour. The quality is solid, and instructions were clear and helpful.

This is 10x12 coop is a great chicken coop! The directions are straightforward making it easy to set up. It allows us to move our chickens around easily and provides them with plenty of space.

Aluma coop was easy to assemble and works perfect in the field. Excellent product.

Thank you for the products and your service.

They love all the daylight and now they are in the garden eating the rye cover crop while also fertilizing the ground!! The weather protection wrap keeps it so comfortable, too! Thanks so much for your help! The Frey family
