Is it worth it?
Eggs went up, then they stayed up, and at some point you stood in the aisle doing the maths on a carton and thought, how hard can chickens actually be? That's who this is for. The Eggs Factory is a set of coop building plans plus a few guides, sold as a digital download for $39, so what you're buying is instructions, not a coop. The plans are the core: build a coop with ordinary timber and hardware. The extras cover the part people underestimate, which is keeping hens healthy, what to feed them, and spotting problems early. The Craftsman's Vault bonus is a big general plan library, more filler than reason to buy. Worth being straight about the promises. The page says you'll see huge savings and even make extra cash selling surplus eggs to neighbours, and that the feed recipes cut feed costs by up to half. None of that comes with figures behind it, and it skips the real costs: lumber, birds, feed, bedding, and the months before young hens start laying. Chickens are a daily job too, holidays included. If you already want hens and just need a sensible coop design and a beginner's footing, $39 is fair, and there's a 60 day refund by email. If you're doing it purely to beat the grocery bill, the sums rarely work out as fast as the page suggests.
Pros
- Cheap compared to buying a ready made coop
- Covers care and feeding, not just the build
- 60 day refund, requested by email
- Plans are aimed at people who aren't handy
Cons
- The page never says the file format, page count or how the download arrives
- Savings and side income claims come with no figures behind them
- Ignores upfront costs for materials, birds and feed, and the wait before laying starts
What you get
A digital download for $39: the main Eggs Factory coop blueprints, plus three bonuses. The Chicken Health Checklist is a tracking sheet for feeding, cleaning and egg counts, with early signs of illness to watch for. The Organic Chicken Feed Recipes guide covers mixing your own feed. The Craftsman's Vault is a large library of general homestead plans. No materials, tools or birds included.
Before you buy
- Check your local council or HOA rules on keeping hens, and on selling eggs
- Price up timber, hardware, feed and birds before deciding this saves money
- Be honest about the daily care, including who covers it when you're away
Who it suits
Someone who already likes the idea of keeping a few hens and wants a clear, cheap coop plan with beginner guidance alongside it
