Thrilled with Carolina Coops
Holy cow …our behind us neighbors got a lesson the hard way. Our neighborhood has 1-5 acre lots in a rural/equestrian community. Neighbors have a flimsy chicken coop from a converted dog kennel that previous owners left. They raise chickens for their own 6 member family’s consumption. None of them are named if you know what I mean. Anyway, about two months ago they built a chicken tractor. I sent them a pic of the Carolina Coops chicken tractor before they started construction for reference, but sadly they didn’t use it.
Sunday morning they woke up to find one dead and three missing turkeys from the tractor. No clues as to what happened. Monday they woke up to a homicide scene in the tractor. Twenty chickens massacred. All of them either dead or missing. They’re suspecting raccoons. I love my neighbors but they took the cheap way out. They used bird netting on the tractor…not even chicken wire. They were knocking us for “paying way too much” for a Carolina Coop when they would help us build one for much less.
After the poultry crime scene that they experienced, we are more confident than ever that we made the right choice by going with Carolina Coops. I can’t wait to build this baby like Ft. Knox. Our chickens will be for eggs only and when they quit laying, they will live like queens until they die from old age. I’m sorry for what my neighbors experienced, but it really put into perspective the old saying “you get what you pay for”.
Thank you for producing a superior product, and especially for your willingness to provide information and encouragement to others who, for whatever reason, choose to build their own coops. It demonstrates that you really do care more about the chickens than you do about profits.
Thank you again for everything. We will be loyal customers for life.
Sincerely,
Steve & Lisa Martineau
