Details
Whether you are just starting out as a hobby farmer or if you are a seasoned pro at farming we have the right chicken coop for your needs!
There are several great reasons to raise your own chickens, the most obvious reason is of course your continuous supply of fresh, organic, eggs. Chickens are easy to manage and they provide free fertilizer for your gardening needs.
Your kit will come in panelized wall sections. Each piece is precut and all hardware and fasteners are included. You must provide your own shingles, drip edge, and paint, which you can purchase at your local hardware store.
Your chicken coop kit will include the following:
(1) 14" x 21" working window with tempered glass and screens
(1) Chicken Door
(6) nesting bins for 8-12 hens
(1) Man door with 34" x 61.5" opening
(1) Ventilation bar
(1) Chicken Ramp
High quality siding and trim

Our kits are shipped nationwide via common carrier. When your shipment is expected to be delivered via common carrier, you will be required to have 2 people there to help unload. Your shipment will arrive on a pallet (number of pallets will vary with size of building). The truck driver will help remove the bands and wrapping on the pallet, the 2 people will then be required to unload each piece from the truck.
Correct Site Preparation is very important to the longevity of your building.
Crushed Stone
We recommend using crushed stone approximately 4-5" deep. We also advise that you have 12" of stone around the perimeter of the outbuilding to control weeds and keep moisture away from the building. Before installing the stone, you can either dig out 4" of soil and simply make the stone ground level, or you can make the frame with 4x4s or landscape timbers and then fill flush to the top with stone.
Concrete Pad
Another option would be to have a concrete pad installed. If you are going to have a concrete pad installed, remember to keep the pad as close to ground level as possible. We recommend that you make the pad 12" wider on each side of the building.
Using crushed stone or a concrete pad will increase the longevity of your building. Having the proper site allows needed air flow, which will keep your building looking great for years to come!
Permits
If it is necessary to obtain a building permit or cross a neighboring property, it is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain a neighbor’s permission or to purchase the necessary permits prior to delivery.
