The Bed and Breakfast coop (around $2800) has been an absolute disaster. Complete rubbish. Had to replace every single screw, hinge, nail and latch (cost over $100) with hardware that was fit for purpose, ie rust proof and sturdy. Had to brace all corners. Even then the whole thing warped after rain, despite three coats of paint, and now everything has to be re-aligned. Essential parts of the structure cracked and broke meaning doors wouldn’t close or open. It’s a constant repair process. The perches all needed to be planed flat, the wood is cheap and nasty and they would have anABSOLUTE HIDE charging $100 let alone $2800 for this pile of rubbish. DO NOT GO THERE! Needless to say they don’t answer their phone!

The service people I spoke to were extremely helpful and professional with the advice given. The only problem I had was the delivery instructions were not followed as requested. The Mansion is serving our chickens very well and making caring for them much easier.

Highly recommended back yard chicken coops and the "penthouse" coop, company was a pleasure to deal with, delivery was prompt and the coop was a breeze to put together, very decent quality product for the price paid,
I love my mansion run, quality is excellent, goodness instructions, easy to put together, good price, looks amazing.

We purchased our Penthouse Chicken Coop from Backyard Chicken Coops. After a great deal of research to find a coop which was chicken & owner friendly, we are pleased we bought the one we did. It offers safety, efficient layout & comfort for our girls, yet is easily cleaned & accessible for us. We also love the fact that it is a visual asset for our backyard & it receives lots of complimentary comments from neighbours, family & friends.
We bought the Mansion Package for our 5 spoilt princesses with feathers. BCC organised delivery and we READ the instructions about preparation of Mansion and the ground prep. We used the recommended paint and we were rewarded with a beautiful weather proof coop and run. We highly recommend Backyard Chicken Coop for quality and price of there products. Friendly service and a genuine care for their clients, both human and feathered. Thankyou BCC. Dawn and Greg
I recently bought the Taj Mahal coop and genuinely thought it would be a good product. Purting it together was a nightmare. The wood was lightweight and cheap and cracked or chipped and didn't fit , especially the roof , gaps everywhere - that should have been a warning, but I persevered until I realised that the only good thing about Backyard Chicken Coops is the marketing. What a waste of hard earned money. I'm going to throw it in the dumpster.
Such bad quality. Wish we never bought a chicken coop from them. Cheap timber pulled apart as soon as it was screwed together. They replaced the sections....but it was already put together and extremely difficult to change the sections over. We have continued to patch the cheap timber and wire as it falls apart over the 18 months we have had it. However, it is almost beyond repair now. We painted it as per the instructions before we put it together. We got the cluck house coop.

This product is appalling. I took to my lawyer and got a refund. (I paid $4500 for the double run mansion, thinking it was high end! Pffft) Unbelievably bad product, sold for a ridiculously high premium by a smooth talking con man. Absolutely the worst product - leaking roof, un-matched joins, gaps everywhere, sticky resin all over the wood, swelling wood in wet weather. What a mess. I had rescue chickens without a home, and had to do a massive amount of extra work to make this piece of crap even marginally suitable for temporary use. Huge mistake. DO NOT PURCHASE A THING from this appalling company. [Redacted inflammatory comment]

Don’t do it
I was super excited when I saw these on the internet! I saved and saved ! Payed off my layby ,over $1000 .. waited .. it arrived !!!!! ..... what ... no ... this isn’t the same as what I saw ! This is cheap and nasty !! This is small and will never last out side in the elements , half the peices are even square ! Really , so so disappointed!!!! .. it’s together but I haven’t ever got chickens yet as I feel so sad about it all !! I was going to buy the free range fencing, but have lost all faith in the company now !! Please
Buyer beware !
