Verified Reviews for Boughton Chicken Coop by Forsham Cottage Arks

This coop gives my girls more shelter and space than my ol Forshsm ark. Combined with the fence they are happy and secure. :-)

I have broken my rule of not posting reviews (cos I don't have time) given that this has been such a great purchase. Not the cheapest on the market, but you get what you pay for, it is reassuringly solid, lovely looking and does the job perfectly. The various removable sections make cleaning very easy and that fact that you can just lift it up and move it is another positive. The only slight criticism is that the knot on the rope you use to pull up the steps seems to slip so I spend a bit of time faffing with that.

Slightly different to the one I had 11 years ago but still providing my girls with luxury accommodation! took 2 hrs not 1 to assemble and not too much fffffing and blinding! But takes 2 people to do it.

The ark arrived as per agreed date and was very easy to assemble. I am so impressed by the build quality and by how it fits together. I would not hesitate recommending this to anyone who wants a good, solid home for their chickens. Well done Omlet for selling Forsham arks.

As a first time chicken keeper, I wanted a coop that was robust and would be easy to use/clean. I came across this chicken coop and was pleased how multi-functional it was. If I had to criticise something on the coop it would be the delivery. Our Boughton took 23 days for delivery, but overall it was worth the wait. I think this coop is perfect for first time chicken owner and I would thoroughly recommend it!

have bought the cheaper chinese made coops in the past. you are lucky if you get 2 years out of them. the broughton coop is very sturdy and looks built to last.

My forsham ark is briliiant but i did have to wait nearly 10 days for it to arrive which considering the delivery cost i think it should have been sooner.

This was to replace our old Fordsham Ark (Boughton) which had lasted nearly 20 yrs. Having looked at other cheaper arks, I decided to go for quality........the quality has been maintained. I wanted solid, well-treated, thick wood. I did not want a coop with roofing felt, as this can harbour parasites. My only criticism would be that the wood spars that form the base of the coop..ie the horizontal spars that are in contact with the ground.. could be more robust. This is the bit that gets waterlogged and decays with time. How about a run to match?....my old run fits but is coming to the end of it's days

very pleased with it.
