Product Information
Full details
The vidaXL Chicken Coop is designed for small-scale poultry keepers and hobbyists who need a compact, secure outdoor habitat for chickens, rabbits, or ducks. The primary benefit of this all-in-one structure is its integrated layout that combines a nesting box, resting area, and run, while the solid pine construction provides a durable, rustic aesthetic for your backyard. A notable caveat to consider is that its total depth of 50 cm offers a compact footprint ideal for smaller gardens but may limit the number of animals you can house comfortably at one time.

FAQs
What animals can I keep in this coop?
This coop is suitable for chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, and other small birds.
Is the wood treated against rot?
The wood is pine, which is naturally durable, but we recommend applying a pet-safe preservative for better longevity in wet climates.
How many chickens can fit in this unit?
Due to its 50 cm depth, it is recommended for a small group of 2-3 chickens to ensure they have enough space to move comfortably.
Can the roof of the nesting box be opened?
Yes, the nesting box top is designed to be accessible for easy egg collection and cleaning.
Does this coop protect against foxes?
The wire mesh helps protect against many common predators, but it should be placed in a secure, fenced yard for maximum safety.
Can I put the planter on top of the nesting box?
Yes, the nesting box roof is designed to hold the weight of soil and plants, making it a perfect spot for small herbs.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty assembling the unit
Ensure all panels are aligned correctly before tightening screws; do not over-tighten, as this can crack the pine wood.
Wood showing signs of weathering
Apply an additional coat of water-based, non-toxic wood stain or sealant to protect against rain and UV rays.
Roof leaking after heavy rain
Check that the roofing material is properly seated and the hinge of the nesting box is tight to prevent water from entering the seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the coop, ensure you have a clear, level surface in your yard. The unit measures H:84 x W:204 x D:50 cm, so measure your available space beforehand. Once assembled, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or a pet-safe outdoor paint to the pine surfaces annually to prevent rot and moisture damage. Clean the nesting area and floor regularly by removing waste and replenishing bedding materials such as straw or wood shavings. Ensure the wire mesh is checked periodically for any signs of wear to maintain predator security.
