Size Does Matter: Choose the Right Chicken Coop for Your Flock
At Carolina Coops, we know one size definitely doesn’t fit all — especially when it comes to your feathered family. Whether you’ve got a few backyard hens or a bustling free-range flock, the right coop size makes all the difference for your chickens’ happiness, health, and safety.
We build custom chicken coops in every size, handcrafted with the same premium materials and attention to detail that define every Carolina Coop. From compact backyard models to expansive free-range setups, our designs give your birds the space they need to roost, nest, and stretch their wings — comfortably and safely.
Why Coop Size and Run Space Matter
Your flock’s well-being depends on having the right amount of space. Too small, and hens become stressed, aggressive, and less productive. Too large, and you’re wasting money, materials, and valuable backyard space.
At Carolina Coops, we help you strike the perfect balance — creating chicken coops sized to your flock, your property, and your lifestyle.
- Free-range flocks enjoy smaller enclosed runs but need roomy henhouses for roosting and nesting.
- Run-only setups benefit from larger covered spaces for daily activity and protection.
- Future expansion matters — “chicken math” happens fast! We always design with tomorrow’s flock in mind.
Built for Strength, Beauty & Longevity
Every Carolina Coop is handcrafted with the same care we’d put into our own flocks’ homes.
- Premium Douglas fir framing for unmatched strength
- ACRE™ sustainable panels for eco-friendly durability

Our coops aren’t just built to look beautiful — they’re built to last for generations.
