Short answer: OverEZ Large Coop wins this one, 8.3/10 against 8.1/10, mainly on price and room per hen. OverEZ Medium Coop does not lead on any criterion we score.
What really separates them?
Same workshop, same panels, same one-hour assembly claim, $600 apart. The Large is 30.8 sq ft against 18.3: at 3 sq ft per hen that's ten hens instead of six. It has five nest boxes instead of three, two windows instead of one and a taller man door (20 x 43 in against 17 x 38 in) you can step through. Per hen at OverEZ's counts, the Large is the cheaper of the two. Unless you're sure you'll stop at six hens, the extra $600 is the best money you'll spend on this coop.
