Your journey to fresh, homegrown eggs starts now

FAQ

Why should I buy a pre-built chicken coop?

+

Pre-built chicken coops are made to get you to your goal of raising
chickens faster. Our experience has allowed us to make mistakes and
learn from them, ensuring that our coops are not only structurally
sound, but are equipped with features you don't know you need yet.

How many chickens can I fit in a coop?

+

We recommend no less than 3 square feet per chicken. This means:

  • 6' x 6' = fits 10-12 chickens
  • 6' x 8' = fits 14-16 chickens
  • 8' x 8' = fits 19-21 chickens
  • 8' x 10' = fits 24-26 chickens
  • 8' x 12' = fits 26-30 chickens

Do I need a chicken run?

+

This depends on whether you want to let your chickens run free range in
your yard, or if you want to protect them and keep them housed at all
times. If you have a lot of overhead predators then you may want to
consider a covered run.

Do I need a permit for a chicken coop?

+

Check with your local Township or Municipal office to confirm bylaws in your area.

How much does it cost to maintain a chicken coop?

+

The biggest expense is your time. Chicken feed is inexpensive and they otherwise require very little maintenance.

Where can I put my chicken coop?

+

As long as it is within the zoning guidelines of your municipality, you can place the coop anywhere you like.

Do you deliver?

+

Our Coopmobile delivers regularly throughout Ontario (subject to delivery fee if outside of the GTA). All that we require is clear access to where you would like to place your chicken coop so that we can back up our trailer. We can work with you on more challenging locations, if needed.
