Affiliate disclosure

Some links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes our scores. Every score comes from the same published formula, applied to every coop and every automatic door, whether or not the brand pays a commission.

How we review

We compare chicken coops and automatic coop doors from the brands' published product, warranty and returns pages and their prices, read on the date shown on each page, and score them with the formula on our methodology page. We haven't assembled them or kept hens in them.

Which links

"Check price" buttons lead to the brand's own US store, or to the seller named on the button. Every outgoing link is marked nofollow; links that earn a commission are also marked sponsored.

What we never do

We don't accept payment for a place in a ranking, we don't publish invented reviews or ratings, and we don't run fake countdowns or made-up discount codes. If a brand shows a discount, we report the price you can actually pay on the day we check it, with the date. Hen counts, dimensions and build times are quoted as each brand's own.
