Frequently Asked Questions
Is this chicken coop big enough for 15 hens to live comfortably?
Yes, this coop provides 23 square feet of run space and is designed for up to 15 standard chickens, matching American Poultry Association recommendations for space per bird.
How does a wooden chicken coop compare to a plastic one for backyard flocks?

This coop arrives in pre-labeled panels with detailed assembly instructions and requires only basic hand tools. Assembly is typically completed in 2–3 hours by two adults.
Is an extra large wooden chicken coop worth the investment for a small farm?
