So you’re thinking about getting a chicken coop?
Protection is key
A chicken coop’s main job is simple: keep your chickens safe, comfortable, and protected from the weather and predators.
Keep them safe
A well-built, enclosed structure using strong hardware cloth will help protect your flock from unwanted visitors.
Keep them dry
Cold isn’t the main concern for most breeds—the real priority is keeping your flock dry and sheltered from wind or drafts.
A well-ventilated, dry, enclosed coop will keep your chickens safe even on the coldest days.
Chicken Coop Introduction
The Coop
The coop is the main structure—your chickens’ home. Its purpose is to provide comfort and security for your flock. Protection from both predators and the natural elements is essential.
The Run
The run is the enclosed outdoor area that limits how far your chickens can roam. While optional, a run is ideal if you’re concerned about predators or want to control how far your flock forages. It gives them safe outdoor access without the stress.
The Chicken Door
This small square door slides up and down, providing access to the outdoors during the day and closing at night to protect against predators.
All our coops include a sliding manual wooden door, with an option to upgrade to an automatic door for added convenience and peace of mind.
Human Door
This is your access point for collecting eggs, checking on your flock, and cleaning their space.
Nesting Beds
Nesting beds are where your hens will lay their eggs once they reach maturity. We can build them to be accessible from both the inside and outside of the coop for easy collection.
Roosting Bar
All chickens naturally roost—the place where they perch and sleep. Chickens prefer to sleep off the ground because it makes them feel safer, which is why the roost is one of the most important parts of a coop. Our roosts are made from 100% Canadian Wood..
