The Coops!

Kippen House chicken coops are sustainably built!  I creatively use a variety of materials in order to reuse and avoid the use of toxic chemicals.  All coops come painted with a Low VOC exterior grade paint or in cedar!

The layout of the modular panels can be customized to fit your needs.  Upon ordering I will contact you to finalize the layout of your coop.

REFERRAL PROGRAM:  I know you will LOVE your coop so much, that you'd even recommend me to a friend!  I would love to reward my faithful customers with $50 for every single person you refer and ends up buying a coop.  Just have them mention that they were referred by you...simple.  (sorry, mini coop not included in the deal.)

Painted

All wood is painted with Low VOC, exterior grade paint in the iconic Kippen House 'red delicious' and 'golden delicious' colors.

I use cedar wood in areas with direct contact with the ground to prevent wood rot. All wood is also painted with a Low VOC exterior paint before assembly.  This is important because all the cut parts of the wood are painted in order to prevent wood rot.

Cedar

All wood except the roof section is unpainted/unsealed/unstained cedar.  The roof is painted in the iconic Kippen House 'red delicious' color.  Cedar is naturally rot resistant but will patina to a grey color if left unsealed.

3' run extension

3' W x 3' L x 3' H

Add an extension to your coop to provide secure run space for your chickens.  Add as many 3' extensions as you wish.

Includes:
(2) wire panels (sides)
(1) wire roof panel
*Gate from main coop attached to end of run extension. Extension is attached to main coop.

Or opt to use the extension as a portable tractor (aka: chicken playpen).  Just let me know and I will make sure it can be easily detached on a daily basis, and that we include (1) additional wire panel and (1) wire gate.  This will cost slightly more, so contact me to arrange pricing.

$90 (each 3' extension)

Extra Nesting Box

You typically need 1 nesting box for every 2-3 chickens.  But some chickens might be a little fiesty and not like to share...or you may want to avoid any hassles for when you add to your flock and need the extra nesting box!  It is best to add it with your coop order so I can custom fit and install it for you.

$20

Extra Roosting Pole

The ladder that comes with the coops are typically only used for the first 6 months your chickens are using the coop.  They quickly learn that they can jump up to the roosting pole or nesting box platform. 

You can either opt out of the ladder and I will provide an extra roosting pole, or purchase an extra roosting pole and I will include it with your order and you can install when the time comes.

$10 (includes screws and instructions)

Extra Wire Gate

You can add a gate to your coop!  Gates include the finish indicated (wire or wood), hinges and a lock.

Extra Wood Gate

You can add a gate to your coop!  Gates include the finish indicated (wire or wood), hinges and a lock.

Predator Proofing

The exterior panels of the chicken coops are secure from predators.  Many people advise to safeguard against predators  that can dig from the outside and under the coop.

Foundation Method: A solution that is highly suggested is to set the coop on a foundation of buried concrete block.  If an animal tries to dig, it will hit the concrete block instead. (1) layers of concrete block is suggested (~8" deep)

Wire Perimeter: Others have also buried wire shaped like an 'L', with the leg of the wire pointing away from the coop for about 1'-1 1/2'.  If an animal tries to dig, it will hit the wire instead.

Wire Floor: Lay 1/2" hardware cloth on the ground and then set the coop on top.  Only problem with this method is cleaning is sometimes problematic if the rake gets caught in the wire.  If you use a deep litter method for your bedding inside, this shouldn't pose a problem.

3' Wire Floor

3' W x 3' L

The solution I am able to provide is a wire floor.  If an animal does try to dig under the coop, it will hit the wire floor and not be able to enter the coop. 

$10 (each 3'x3' section)

Additional Info

dimensions of chicken coop
Dimensions of large sized chicken coop. Note you need an additional 3' of space on each end for the gates to swing open.
You provide:
-the chickens
-waterer
-feed/feeder
-bedding for the ground of the coop. (ie: wood shavings or hay/straw)
-additional predator proofing to prevent animals from digging under the coop to eat the chicken feed (or your chickens).  I can help you with this!  (ie: raccoons, mice, rats, moles, gophers...you name it!)

**Very important: The ground the coop will be placed needs to be solid, level ground.  I suggest installing a simple foundation of concrete block buried in the ground. This provides a solid, level place for the coop and also helps deter animals from digging under the coop to get inside.

Materials:
The fasteners/hardware that I use are appropriate for exterior conditions and connection with cedar.
 
I use either a rubberized liner or reused billboard tarp in the garden bed to ensure water does not leak to the interior of the coop.  (Depends on stock availability of billboard tarp) I also install (2) copper drains to keep the garden roof well-drained for a healthy garden.

Your coop will be handed over to you, ready for your chickens to move-in and for you to start gardening!

FREE local delivery OR FREE Shipping!
If you live within 30 miles of Seattle, I can deliver the coop and fully install for you!

I am now able to ship nationally!  My current lead time is 3-4 weeks and shipping usually takes an additional 3-5 days.  The coop will come MOSTLY assembled on a pallet and the delivery truck will have a lift gate.  The gates are not attached.  You will need a drill to attach the gates to the coop.
