Chicken Coop Options -

We are a custom wood shop, your chicken coop can be as elaborate or as modest as you want or need! We offer a great base model and many options to make your coop as fanciful and high-tech as you need or want!

SIZE DOES MATTER

We believe you can never have enough room for your chickens. Whether you free range all of the time or just some of the time, giving your flock room in the henhouse and run is crucial to their well being.

We offer any size henhouse and run areas according to your needs. Do you need a chicken coop to keep your flock in a run at all times? Do you like to let them free range a bit after work and on weekends just when you’re home? Or do you need a larger henhouse for your flock that free ranges most of the time or you only have room for a small coop and a small flock.

We offer chicken coops in all sizes, big and small and in between. See our gallery of coops of all sizes here.

ROOFING COLORS

We use steel roofing on all our production and custom chicken coops. This roofing uses an armor-shield manufacturing process that incorporates warm roll-forming of pre-painted sheet steel with clear coated edges.

The painted metal roofs are even more energy efficient that plain metal roofing. (yes, even black roofing!) These roofs not only reflect solar energy, but also re-emit most of the solar energy that the coop absorbs.

PAINT OR STAIN

All of our coops are left unpainted and untreated unless otherwise specified. The beauty of that is you can paint it any color you want, or you can preserve the natural beauty of the wood with a stain or by simply doing an oil treatment.

We recommend all our coops be treated in some fashion to preserve the wood from the elements. You can have your chicken coop match your home or other outbuildings or even go flashy or whimsical! The choice is yours!
(We paint or stain with our turn-key coops only)

Check out our chicken coops in an array of different colors and stains here.

SIDING OPTIONS

We offer different siding options for our custom chicken coops. Board and batten siding is an exterior treatment of vertical boards with battens covering the seams. The technique is our most popular and offers classic look! It comes standard on our Carolina and Craftsman chicken coops.

We also can make clapboard siding, shiplap, cedar shake shingles, or whatever you can dream up. We also can use 100 year old barn wood to side your chicken coop. The only limit is your imagination. These are options for our custom coops only.

My great grandfather had a saying: nothing is ever as good as you think it’s going to be and nothing’s ever as bad ... This may be the one time when he was wrong. My high expectations were exceeded. Thank you both for your wonderful support and professional yet friendly and accessible attitudes.

I have high expectations. Matt and Carolina Coops exceeded them. He is a gentleman who makes a hell of a Coop. I would buy another Coop from him in a heartbeat!!!! Keep up the good work.

You want to get in on the chicken game? There's a lot to learn, BUT having said that, the best thing you could do for yourself and your chickens is start with the right coop. Without question, Carolina Coops has that part covered. We had a coop before we got this one in Dec '18 and that other coop nearly cost us the joy of having chickens. It was wrong by design, hard to use, and frankly not safe for the birds. By contrast, Carolina Coops will guide you towards the right coop, one that is safe for the birds, built in a way to last for years to come, and can be as feature rich as you want. Matt and his team will guide you, answer all your questions, and still be there post sale to continue to educate you, guide you, and answer your questions. If they don't know the answer, because really they're there to help you get the infrastructure part right, they'll connect you to someone in their vast network that could answer your other questions around health, etc. Again, you want in on the chicken game? Carolina Coops is where you start.

Wow wow wow! Where do I start? From first contacting Carolina Coops about 18 months ago to today when our wonderful coop arrived we have been nothing but impressed. Impressed with the service, professionalism, attention to detail, quality of product and pride that is taken by all involved. The decision to invest in a Carolina Coop wasn’t difficult when we could so clearly see the craftsmanship and care taken in the planning, building and presentation of the coops. Yes, there was a delay in us receiving our coop today but good things come to those who wait, life happens and there are bigger things to stress about. We are thrilled with our coop and our decision to use Carolina Coops and are glad to be supporting a small business that truly cares about their end product and customer satisfaction. Keep doing what you’re doing so well!

I had the pleasure of picking up my American Coop from the shop. Entire team was friendly and responsive to my questions. Any assembly issues were quickly responded to - it made the experience such a positive one! Great company and great customer support!

I did LOTS of research before purchasing a chicken coop. It was important that I had a quality coop that would last for many, many years. You know what they say about "you get what you pay for". It's true. Spend a little more money to get a sound investment. That's what I did with Carolina Coops. It took me about 2 weeks to get the coop put together but the instructions were very clear and all of the materials needed were well packaged and clearly labeled. I would recommend Carolina Coop to anyone who wants a coop that's been well thought out and designed for your flocks every need.

Very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive to your needs. Great coops and products... there just aren’t many other companies out there doing this...that do it this well!

I went to YouTube a few years ago in hopes of getting ideas to build my own backyard coop. While browsing, I came across Matt's videos showcasing his coops... Carolina Coops design & size was exactly what I was looking for. After going to a few lumber yards and hardware stores to price materials so I could try to copy the "American Coop", I realized that Carolina Coops' prices were close to what the cost of all the material would have cost me if I were to source it all myself! In fact, I think I saved money when you consider how many trips to the hardware store you would have had to make when you either didn't buy enough of something, or realize you need something half way through that you didn't think about getting! Carolina Coops earned my business from watching Matt's Youtube videos and seeing how he has dialed in his design to be attractive - yet cost effective AND tailored to the needs of the chickens being their top priority! You can tell Matt, Gnon, Ingrid, Mackenzie, Evan and the rest of the Carolina Coops team care about their customers as well as the health and safety of our chickens! Their attention to detail and customer service are bar none! THANKS AGAIN!!!

"Cadillac of Chicken Coops" If you are looking for a well designed and thought-out coop, then look no further. The level of craftsmanship in the materials all the way to the completeness of the instruction manual are beyond compare. I myself am a general contractor/remodeler and am thoroughly impressed with the level of thought that was put into the preparedness of the penthouse coop kit. Every part was meticulously machined and labeled. The structure when completed, was unbelievably strong and sturdy!! In addition to this, the customer service was outstanding. Very helpful with the willingness to genuinely be of service....a rare thing these days. If you choose to go with a different chicken coop company of any design... you "will" be disappointed. It's worth every cent!

I just wanted to send a note of thanks for this fantastic Carolina Coop. I researched 3 years for a coop that would: 1. Keep my chicks safe from predators 2. Would aesthetically blend on our property 3. Stand the test of time 4. Be low maintenance Carolina Coops checked all the boxes. I finally made my decision then COVID hit along with delays. It was well worth the wait! Big shout out to Sean and Adam for their professional install 2 days before Christmas! Thanks again for a wonderful coop!
