Affordable Homemade Backyard Chicken Coop Made in the USA
Keeping chickens around your home requires some thought into the logistics of it; in addition to checking with the local zoning regulations, there are some other concerns as well, such as security, comfort of the chickens and more.
Fortunately, getting a chicken coop is a pretty straightforward proposition.
There are a number of vendors that can take the dimensions you specify, and the number of birds you want to maintain, and give you a custom set of chicken houses and coops.
Ideally, you'll also want to send them a picture of the back yard the chickens will range about in, so that they can make sure it blends with your home's overall décor.
Because this is a small market at the moment, most of our chicken coops are made in the US with American lumber and materials.
They're usually made by people who have kept chickens themselves or do so now, and have expanded into making furniture and infrastructure for egg layers as a side business.
On the lower end of the cost scale is the A-frame free range coop.
It comes completely assembled, made out of galvanized wire and white pine, and is fairly sturdy.
It's also portable - it weighs less than seventy pounds.
It's portable and can be moved around without any effort.
Great pen for 2 hens, 2 bantams, rabbits or show cage for chickens.
Hen House: 20"L x 24"W x 24"H (roosting area) complete coop with run: 61"L x 24"W x 24"H and best of all completely assembled.

Made out of pressure treated wood, it's a deluxe condo for your hens.
