Cocoon 5000 chicken house: Initially 2 units were delivered when we ordered one but the courier took the second one away so this presented no problem for us. There are a few design problems which we had to overcome as we assembled the kit. The perches are designed to fit just a few cm above the floor level - this is clearly a mistake: we moved them to a more sensible position in the eaves and screwed them into place, which also strengthens the top of the house as the perches double up as braces. The catches on the drop-down doors are very flimsy and there is only one, where 2 are needed: we improvised a rabbit-hutch style catch from a spare piece of wood and a screw. It would be better if one at least was a conventional pop-hole that could be connected to an automatic opener/closer. The drop-down doors are also rather flimsy, The 2 section roof, which opens for cleaning, looked likely to blow open in a strong wind so we added a catch to stop this happening. The floor of the nest boxes havevery little support - so far we have left these but it looks like some additional support/bracing will be needed as they look very weak and could easily break. So, although it is mostly well made and designed, a few errors and some slightly under-speced components really need improving. The branding is also bizarre: cocoon with the initial c and o minimised is hardly pc!
