Comfortable homes for chickens
Having raised our own chickens for years, they've become part of our family. And like any animal, they require care and attention which can be a lot of work - especially if you don't have the right tools and equipment.
Our chicken coops are designed from our experience, and feature proper layouts, securities, cleaning areas, and other amenities to help you give your chickens the life they deserve.

Your journey to fresh, homegrown eggs starts now
Raising chickens is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding adventures of minimal living. Rising costs of organic eggs have also made egg farming more economical, while ensuring no chemicals or hormones have entered the making of your eggs.
They'll love what you've done to the place
Making your chickens comfortable in their new home is priority number one. Our coops are constructed with tongue and groove pine floor (optional linoleum upgrade available) for easy clean out. Standard designs come equipped with operable windows and screens, and nesting boxes which are well placed to allow for exterior retrieval of eggs without startling the birds.
For winter warmth, coops feature double bubble insulation in the roof, providing an R4 value.
Modern, rustic exterior finishing
Chicken coops weren't made to be ugly. At least ours weren't. We take extreme care when applying finishes, which include a rustic half log trim, solid cedar door, and finished gable and fascia trim.
Run chickens, run
While not required, chicken runs offer added safety and protection for your chickens when you're not around. If your property allows, your chickens can run free, but are susceptible to both overhead and ground predators, especially at night.
Our coops are equipped with hard wire mesh with holes less than 0.5" wide to keep out predators capable of fitting through small holes.
A home for more than just chickens
Although we call them chicken coops, these coops are built to house a variety of small animals, including goats and pigeons. Sometimes in the same pens as chickens!

Add-ons that'll make your chickens cluck
Customize your roof colour for any aesthetic
When you order your coop, you're able to choose the colour of the roof from a wide variety of available colours, shown below.
Custom Add-On
Smart automatic coop door
The smart home has made its way to the chicken coop, with the automatic coop door from ChickenGuard. The door can be programmed to open at a certain time to keep your chickens secure when you need them to be. This leads to a stress-free vacation, or just a few extra hours in bed. The automatic door is battery operated - no electricity is required.
Custom Add-On
24/7 security camera monitoring
Nothing says peace of mind like having eyes on your chickens at any time of day. Our security systems allow you to keep an eye on both the inside and outside of the coop. We also provide solar security lighting to startle any thieves or predators in the night.
Custom Add-On
Rope roost & hemp rope
Rope roost (often referred to as hemp rope) creates a more natural feel for your chicken's feet. They are made from solid cedar bars, wrapped with manila rope. Veterinarians recommend a rope-wrapped roost bar as it helps in the treatment of bumble foot, a common bacterial infection in chicken feet, by allowing the air to flow under your chicken's feet.
Custom Add-On
Every coop needs a name
A coop is finally ready once it's been given a name. Our nameplates allow you to customize - and advertise - your coop's name, however creative you'd like it to be. Or, simply call it the “Country Clucker” - the choice is yours!
Looking for a custom coop?
Our team can help design your dream chicken coop. We'll walk you through a three-step design process, including an initial discovery call to understand your needs, a custom sketch, and a final visit to our farm to see a coop in-person before you commit.
