The Medeheoo chicken coop is a wheeled, fir wood tractor-style coop designed for small backyard flocks of three to four standard-sized hens. It includes a raised nesting box, a run below, a slide-out droppings tray, and multiple access doors.
Two wheels and a handle allow repositioning on smooth or moderately level ground. The coop has no solid floor in the run section, so birds can forage on fresh ground, but this also means there is no built-in barrier against digging predators.

A Portable Daytime Tractor Coop for Rotating Small Flocks on Fresh Ground
If you move your flock daily or every few days to give them access to fresh grass and limit ground wear, this coop fits that workflow. The wheeled base makes repositioning practical on lawn or relatively smooth terrain, and the open-bottom run allows hens to forage directly on whatever ground the coop sits on.
For flocks of three to four standard hens, the L Size provides enough indoor roost space and enough run area for daily use. The XL size extends that capacity to six to eight birds. Because there is no floor in the run section, this coop works best inside a larger secured perimeter or in a yard without known digging predators, unless you add supplemental hardware cloth skirting along the base.
What to Expect from the Medeheoo Wheeled Chicken Coop in Real Use
Assembly is one of the cleaner experiences in this product category. Instructions include clear drawings and all parts are labeled, and most owners complete the build in one to two hours working alone. Repeat assembly on a second unit takes considerably less time once you are familiar with the sequence.
The slide-out tray makes daily droppings management genuinely quick, and the four access doors give good reach for cleaning and egg collection. The nesting box, perch, and run layout work well for the intended flock size. Standard-sized birds fit comfortably at three to four hens per L Size unit.
Wheel performance is the area that comes with the most nuance. On smooth or firm surfaces the coop moves without difficulty. On uneven terrain, rutted ground, or thick grass, the small wheels require lifting the rear end significantly to get rolling, which makes it a two-person task.
The included latches are functional but may not deter raccoons reliably, and several owners added supplemental locks as a precaution. The wire cover in the run area is noted as lighter than some owners prefer for predator resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many chickens can the Medeheoo L Size coop realistically house?
The L Size is suited for three to four standard-sized hens. The listed capacity on some product variants references higher numbers, but based on the actual interior dimensions of the nesting box and run area, three to four birds of average laying breed size is the practical limit for comfortable daily use.
Small bantam breeds could fit in slightly larger numbers. If you are managing a flock of five or more standard hens, the XL Size is the more appropriate option or you would need multiple units.
Does this coop work as a chicken tractor for daily rotation?
The wheeled design is intended for repositioning on relatively flat, firm ground. On mowed lawn that is level, the wheels function adequately for short moves. On uneven terrain, gravel paths, or thick grass, moving the coop requires lifting the rear end high enough to engage the wheels fully, which typically requires two people.
If daily rotation over varied terrain is central to your management plan, evaluating the surface conditions of your yard against the wheel size is worth doing before purchasing. The open-bottom run means hens forage directly on ground, which is the functional advantage of the tractor design.
Are the latches and locks on this coop secure enough for predators?
The included latches are standard slide-bolt style hardware that provides basic closure. For common nighttime predators such as raccoons, which are capable of working simple latches, adding a supplemental carabiner clip or padlock to each door is a straightforward upgrade.
The wire mesh on the run is lighter gauge than hardware cloth, so the coop is best used inside a larger secured perimeter or run if your property has active predator pressure. The asphalt roof and solid wood nesting box section provide more robust protection for the roosting area.
