Value Meets Versatility: Unpacking the Diyokai Coop
Update: I reached out to Diyokai about the the security skirt around the pen. Here is their response, "I am very sorry, our coop itself does not contain a safety skirt, the part you mentioned is the shadow of the coop when the sun hits it. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."I've been quite impressed with the Diyokai Large Chicken Coop, which stands as a solid and more budget-friendly alternative to the Omlet Eglu Cube. Thanks to a fantastic coupon, I snagged it for just over $500, way less than the $1100 you'd shell out for the Omlet Cube.As someone who's currently using an Omlet Eglu Go Up, I've got a fair bit of experience with these types of coops.However, I did notice something missing right off the bat. The Diyokai's advertised security skirt, meant to prevent predators from burrowing underneath, wasn't included. Given its prominence in the product's marketing, its absence was quite unexpected.On the plus side, the Diyokai coop's build quality is impressive. Unlike the Omlet's reliance on clips, this coop uses screws for assembly, giving it a more secure feel.I do have a tip for the Diyokai team: the ladder could use some improvement. Its rungs are pretty thin and low to the entry - making it a tad difficult for the chickens to climb into the box comfortably. I'm planning to tweak it a bit to make it easier for them.In essence, the Diyokai Large Chicken Coop offers great value, especially considering its sturdy construction and affordable price point. Just adding the missing security skirt and tweaking the ladder design would make it even better.

OK choice depending on your goal
I've used this for the better part of a year now so I feel like I can't leave a decent review. I (petite 28 yr old female) was able to assemble it myself in an afternoon. Another person definitely would have helped the job go quicker but I managed. I have 2 hens in the coop and I don't know that I would feel comfortable with any more than that, as they're in the coop for most of the day each day. There just isnt a lot of ground square footage. The coop has held up well and I feel like it's still in good shape for being almost a year old. Part of the reason I chose this coop over some of the cheaper options was because I was hoping it would withstand the elements better than some of the wooden coops, and I feel it's done a satisfactory job at that. It was hard to winterize while still being able to access everything for cleaning. The girls do seem happy in here though. Overall it's OK for a couple birds, it might make a good quarantine coop, but I don't know if this is the choice for you if you plan on growing your flock very big.

Coop missing parts, warped plastic, flimsy wheels
I like the idea of a plastic coop for ease of cleaning. I got this one as a cheaper alternative to Eglu (there was a $220 coupon, making it cheaper than some of the Eglu coops). The coop came nicely packed and assembly was straightforward except for a few typos in instructions. A few complaints:-The product photos showed anti-predator mesh panels that go on the ground surrounding the coop to prevent digging. The coop arrived without these. Customer service tried to tell me that the pictured mesh was just a shadow but it was clearly visible in multiple photos and clearly not a shadow. They then stated that they would update the product photos and offered me $20. It does look like they have now photoshopped out the missing panels. (I do notice that one of their new product photos is of the Eglu coop, a different brand's product.)-The side doors don't have a lock or a place to add my own lock, leaving the roosting and laying areas wide open to predators.-The plastic drawer that slides out to collect waste is warped. The side bulges out in the middle, making the roosting bars fall down (the roosting bars rest on the sides of the drawer). It looks like this is a design flaw as the drawer is a single piece of plastic that gets folded into the drawer shape and is only secured on the ends, leaving the middle side bending out.-Ladder is steep and the rungs are small, spaced widely and slippery.-Wheels are lightweight and flimsy, secured with little pieces of wire that you bend around the axle. I'd be nervous to roll the heavy coop around on these. I was planning on moving the coop when cleaning out the run area but with the improvised wire panels I had to add as well as the flimsiness of the wheels and general construction, I will have to try to do it via the small door, which is a bummer since I think that will be really tricky to reach in and shovel it out.-chips on metal parts--minor, but several of the metal parts had chips in the coating that had clearly been colored on to hide. Hoping these don't rust.

Awesome, movable chicken coop
I never write reviews, but for this awesome and affordable coop here we go! It’s exactly as advertized (No other reviews?)I put it together myself. Ikea style step by step pictures, parts and pieces have alphabetical order and bolts etc have codes. Everything came packed nicely in plastic bags. It reminds me of Omlet tractor coop but slightly different (more boxy) way cheaper. I like that it has wheels so my 4 hens can graze on fresh grass every day. The black plastic feeding compartment broke off. Other than that it’s very easy to clean with two doors to peek in, removable droppings tray, and coop door opening to ladder and protected grazing area.
