Set your flock up for success

Even if they’re free-range chickens, you should still have somewhere suitable for them to retreat to at night, such as a coop. This secures them from nighttime predators and ensures they get a good night’s rest. Inside the coop, nesting boxes give hens an ideal place to raise their young, though you may find other flock members seeking refuge in them, as they mimic the natural hollows found in the wild. And don’t forget about the outside of the coop — invest in a pen that gives birds a safe, enclosed area to forage and play during the daytime.

Spacious options for any flock size

You don’t want to end up with a coop that’s too small for the number of birds in your flock. Because of this, you should evaluate how many chickens can fit into the coop you’re purchasing. From smaller flock sizes ranging from one to five birds to extra-large flocks with 20 or more, we have a variety of sizes to accommodate your chickens and backyard or property.

Special features

While basic pens and coops offer a secure space for birds to hang out in, you must also consider ones with a few special features. These help to enhance the safety of your chickens, make care easier and provide added durability. Outdoor coops should have water, weather, UV and rust-resistant properties, allowing them to hold up through a variety of elements. If your birds free-range, coops with wheels let them forage different areas, all from the comfort of their coop.

Durable roof and frame materials

Not only should the roof and frame material of your coop or pen be durable, but also easy to clean and able to resist the elements. Frame materials, such as plastic or wood, offer convenient cleaning and aesthetic, charming appeal. Roof materials, including metal, plastic, wood or asphalt, protect your birds while maintaining durability.

Accessories for keeping chickens comfortable

Alongside their coops, pens and nesting boxes, birds require other accessories to stay safe from predators and comfortable in their homes, including:

• Chicken wire: Typically installed around their coop, this works to prevent other animals from getting in, while keeping your flock in a designated space.
• Containments and security accessories: Including tarps, panels, extensions and more, these provide additional protection and safety for your chickens.
• Odor solutions: These let you eliminate coop odors to keep spaces healthy and prevent odors from taking over your property.
• Heaters: Designed to be installed inside coops, these keep birds warm during winter.
• Smart coops and accessories: Featuring modern capabilities, these make chicken care even easier, permitting you to control temperatures, locks and other components remotely.
