Yet it's so easily portable you can move it daily. Wheelbarrow-style handles lift the load onto easy-rolling pneumatic wheels, so your whole yard can benefit from a free-range chicken's natural ability to fertilize and control bugs and weeds through the open floor. Makes lawn care a snap too, with no more bald spots. Rear door lets you gather fresh eggs without fuss, while side door gets you in to feed, water and clean. Outdoor rated YellaWood lumber loves the weather. A built-in platform supports three nesting boxes, included. Keeps your chickens happy and safe, and your lawn will love it too!
Easy assembly includes attaching roof sheets, front handles, side door latch, and wheels. The assembly time is estimated at 1-2 hours based on options selected.
Standard vs. Northern Option
Standard model coops: Each coop has a nesting and roosting area. The Standard model's roosting area is open to let your chickens come and go as they please with laying eggs, but is more susceptible to the elements. Depending on where you live, you can choose the best option for you and your chickens. Beneath the main image, the last photo shows a straight-on view and a Standard model coop's open nesting area.
Northern model coops: If you are looking for a little more protection from the elements and possible predators, than this is the option for you. The Northern option comes with an enclosed nesting and roosting area for your chickens so you can be worry free. No matter where you live predators can be a problem, but now we have a solution that’s just for you. Beneath the main image, the third and fourth photo shows a close-up view of the doors and the extra security of the enclosed nesting area of the Northern model. This model has the same three nesting boxes and roosting platform as the Standard model.

What's "YellaWood," Anyway?
YellaWood, made by Great Southern Wood Preseving, is a unique, treated lumber that's protected against rot, fungal and termite decay. For nearly 40 years, Great Southern Wood has provided this pressure-treated lumber around the country. They accept only the highest quality yellow pine, then put it through an extensive preserving process that includes a copper-based solution forced deeply into the cellular structure of the wood. This is what protects the wood from rot and attack by insects. YellaWood is certified as an Environmentally Preferable Product.
