Compare Our Chicken Coops

We know buying one of our chicken coops is a big purchase. It’s a coop that will last a lifetime, so we feel our coops are not only functional and beautiful, but also a great value.

Our chicken coops are made with premium Douglas fir lumber handpicked by us. They are built stick framed just like a house, with 2×4 and 2×6 lumber. Our “panelized” chicken coops are fabricated in our climate-controlled shop and shipped to you in panels (each henhouse wall or run section is a panel). This is to ensure it can get through gates, maneuver through wooded areas, or around hardscaping.
