I purchased a "Lodge". I suggest that unless you want to buy a hen house every year, that you look elsewhere. A little more money spent now, will pay dividends in longevity. I purchased this hen house as a temporary quarantine house for four ex-batt hens, and will hereafter use it as a hospital area - indoors! The good points - it is of adequate size for four birds, particularly if they are still roosting on the floor. The lugs help a great deal when constructing the house. The bad points Nothing about this building inspires me to think it suitable housing for birds over a winter. The walls and the roof are just too thin. It did survive 4 weeks of Scottish "Summer" - but hereafter will be used undercover. The timber used was bone dry - put it outside and doors warp, stick, jam and fixings no longer meet. Screws come in random quantities, the main screws were long, slender and too few (I replaced them all with brass screws). The roof hinges are situated on the edge of wood so thin that it bends in use. The hinged roof needs a method of locking it down, or a scrabbling fox will get in. After some sleepless nights, I screwed mine down. The directions instruct that the nest box floor is to be screwed in - this would render proper cleaning and control of red mite impossible. To be fair, I think the mistake is in the instructions, not the design, which is clearly for the floor to be loose. On the subject of control of red mite, some of the ends of the nest box look as if they were snapped, rather than sawn - fragmented timber provides ideal mite lodgings. The nest box roof is designed to be hinged; compared to a properly fitted removable roof. this greatly limits access to the nest box for cleaning. Drafts - all around, particularly from around the nest box, which fits the hole poorly, the main door....... and drafts are not good for chickens. Ventilation - not enough! I would advise owners to drill some holes high in the gable opposite the ventilation grill. The perches are too close together and too small for medium size birds. I cut them up to use as draft stoppers. Buyer, beware.
