Not unless you cut a hole into it, I thought the same thing when I bought it. :( BUT it does work great for Momma setting or with NEW chicks or just new chicks! I ended up CUTTING mine and putting them together. IT DOES HAVE a door at one end,...But it did not work with my coop.

If you are refering to the Precision Hen House that is built off the ground, I'm not sure. It might be a good idea to contact the company with this question. One end of the pen can be detatched,so that the end is open. And the pen could possibly be connected to an opening in the "Hen House" pen.

I added it onto my Precision Pet Extreme coop. Not a perfect fit but it works, attached it at a 90 degree angle to the end opposite the nesting box.

Ya know Adam I have thought about it and you could change spec's it would alter the ramp in the coop, ramp would be against the coop door. If you turn that coop door upside down and change the house side from left to right. You may have to drill some new holes to get things to work and reverse panels so the coops roof aligns. I think it would work, I have built 2 and you could always sell it on craigs list if it doesn't work. The ramps on a hinge so you can raise and lower if its in the way. If you lay it out first see if it lines up. Heck the price is right I paid $50 more for it. Oh ya gotta let me know. Where theres a will theres a way. How exciting changing things up, Good luck Adam.

Yes, it would be very good for chickens. I actually own chickens, and though we already had a coop built for them, I bought this one for our new pup. It would be ideal for chickens too.

Yes. I have two of these in a chicken yard with eight Rhode Island Reds. The girls lay eggs in both of them but prefer to roost in only one of them at night. When I had two Leghorns and two Rhode Island Reds everyone was quite comfortable in one henhouse. This is called a chicken coop but is actually a henhouse. This causes some confusion when researching for square footage requirements for your chickens.

Definitely, and yes. It is the perfect size for our 2 chickens. I've never seen a rabbit bigger than 2 chickens. When assembling simply leave out the perch and divider. Should be super fur a rabbit!

You would have to attach the box to a wooden frame and then attach a door you can open that closes on to the frame. If you do this, add a spring lock to the door that opens onto the frame so that no raccoons or predators can get in...as they will try. You would not want to attach the boxes to a door that opens as a hen could be in one when you open and get trained to not use the box in fear if the box swings. That said, if you do not want to attach the box to a wooden frame that's open, it's actually easy to walk into the coop and get the eggs from the front for me--depending on your coop configuration.

Absolutely. I did the same thing on my chicken coop. It's awesome adjusting it from the outside. Just make sure to use screws that aren't too long for whatever material your walls are. I just have T1-11 panels and I used screws that were about 5/8" and it was perfect. Just add some trim around the edges and it looks great.

I own chickens and I wouldn't even put one in it because it would be too tight for them, the opening of the nesting area is small and it has no bar for them to roost on. This works for 1 rabbit, 2 guinea pigs or 2 dwarf rabbits.

I have one of these in my chicken coop (plastic prefab one) in one of the nesting boxes- it is the only small one that will fit. The chickens prefer to eat out of the other one outside, but when they are closed in they do use it. The only adaptation I did was to put a 1" piece of plastic across the bottom edge (drilled through sides and used a zip tie-trimmed close-- to keep the pellets from getting tossed out as the chickens eat. Saw it originally in a blog about my Formex SnapLock Coop-

I live in an area with plenty of racoons and asked for the attachment for the back even before I got chickens. It's easy to add, just two metal bracket things, one on the coop, one on the door so you can lock the back of the coop using an actual padlock. Even a racoon can't figure those out.

I really don't know if it is cost friendly...by the time you pay for both plus shipping te cost comes to $400! You can build a better and bigger coop with more nesting bosses for tat kind f money. This was nice for a two or three hens but I wouldn't buy it again. As it is, I am moving and leaving it behind.

No, please don't make 6-8 hens live in here, this coop is small I have bantams I would only do maybe 4 or 2 regular size hens. The divider for nest box only allows 2 each side, and only has 2 roosting bars

Not really. All the panels are preassembled. You would be better off building a custom with the amount of work it would take to stretch this out! But it is adequate for 3-4 hens as is.

Very easy to assemble. Yes 4 hens would be fine but in the winter place a heat lamp in it because there is no insulation. I propped it up on bricks as well and packed hay under it so it would keep them warm in the winter. Also so the wood wouldn't rot. It's a great coop! I would buy it again. I place hay in the inside and they love the perch. Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy!

I'd say yes. I've had this coop for about 6 months. It works well for my 4 hens. That said, there are a few things I don't like about this coop. The run is small. I don't have the heart to confine my hens in it during the day and I've been letting them free range which puts them at risk from predators. This spring I'll be building a larger run for them t be safer and still comfortable. The coop also is a risk for determined predators like raccoons. There is no lock on the nesting box. Lastly, I had to modify the height of the roosting poles as they were lower than the nesting box. Hens will naturally roost on the highest possible spot within the coop. So my hens would roost in the nesting box and poop in it all night. I raised the poles and it's been fine since. Hope this was helpful.

the chicken rack inserts are too small for the bigger basket that comes with the SRG. I made them fit though, by bending them out a little to get them to sit in the basket (not a permanent bend, just tension to stretch the rack a little). I then had to use butcher's twine to secure the leg quarters from sliding off and falling into the bottom of the basket. So not an exact fit, but close enough to make it work...

Not really. I have three pullets and I still had to build them a bigger run. The coop also doesn't have enough roosting space for six chickens.
