With plenty of roosting and nesting space, you can happily house up to four standard-size chickens, or up to six bantams. Keep in mind this coop, like every coop we sell at My Pet Chicken, is NOT intended for full-time confinement. The run is convenient when you can't let your flock roam freely, but make sure your flock has several hours per day outside.
We love this model for first-timers because it offers inexpensive entree into the hobby. If you're like most of our customers, you'll double or triple your flock within a few years, and you'll end up having to build or buy a larger coop - but you'll love having this one on hand. Whether you use it to isolate an injured or sick bird, to give a broody hen the space to hatch her own babies, or to transition new juvenile chicks to life "outdoors" while protecting them from your established flock, you'll always be glad to have it around!
Features include: easy nesting box access, doors in all the right places, a slatted floor to allow droppings to pass through, and a convenient "chicken door" that slides open from the outside to get your flock from the house to the run.
Features include: rounded-edge roosting poles, two nesting boxes, a ramp for entering and exiting the run, good ventilation, a plexiglass window, and a covered run area for protection from the elements.
With smart, predator-proof latches on all three doors and 1/2" x 1/2" galvanized hardware cloth on the bottom of the run, this coop is safe from predators. Just close the handy sliding door from the coop to the run at dusk to prevent burrowing predators from gaining access. Or, attach your own hardware cloth to the bottom so you don't have to worry about closing the door at night!

Please select the "Ground" shipping option when you check out, and allow 1-4 weeks for arrival. Your package will ship via freight, with lift gate service. The coop comes in two separate boxes, the largest of which is approximately 64" x 30" x 5". One package weighs 45 pounds and the other weighs 65 pounds..
Save $100 on shipping by selecting the "Pick up at local freight terminal" option from the pull-down menu. You'll need a station wagon, SUV or pick-up truck to retrieve your coop. If you're in a major metropolitan area your local terminal will likely be in your city; if you're in a suburban area or smaller city, expect it to be within 20 miles, and if you're remote, expect it to be 50+ miles away. To find out for sure contact us.
All you need is a screwdriver! All the hardware is included, and the holes are pre-drilled. With two people, allow approximately a half hour; with just one, allow 45 minutes. Assembly instructions: Page 1, Page 2
Once you construct the coop, we recommend you let it "air out" for a week before moving your chickens in. The wood sealer used emits a strong odor that disappears over time.
If you cancel your order before the coop leaves our warehouse, we'll refund you in full. If you'd like to cancel your order after it has left the warehouse, or return it once it has arrived to you, you'll be responsible for shipping costs both ways.
