Top-Tier Chicken Coops
What hens wouldn’t want to roost here?
Chicken-keepers, think of all your hens do for you: Eggs every day (usually), endless entertainment, and they really don’t ask for much other than basic care. And yet, so many chicken-keepers provide only rudimentary housing for them, often just D-I-Y from scrap wood and other castoffs. (Gasp!)
Your hens should enjoy life in a top-tier chicken coop! Those presented here are designed, first, with your chickens in mind, offering convenient access for both birds and keepers, as well as safety, thoughtful, and well-made design to keep the elements at bay.
Take a look at some of these peerless coop designs that will keep you, your hens and probably even your neighbors happy.
Roost & Root
The Round-Top Walk-In Chicken Coop will allow you to spoil yourself and your chickens with more room, more features, and awesome attention to detail. Made with real cedar and heavy-duty 16-gauge galvanized predator-proof welded wire. This coop offers an XL version for a run total of over 100ft², allowing you to keep up to 25 birds. Four giant egg boxes can be accessed from either inside or outside the coop and an available built-in waterer and feeder system make daily chores a breeze.
Shipped in one palletized crate via freight so you can easily stage it at your building site. This coop comes as a kit with pre-drilled holes, a tool kit, and easy-to-assemble panels that allow for a build time of 8-12 hours by two people, saving tremendous time in designing and measuring a coop yourself.

Rita Marie’s Chicken Coops
A favorite this year at Rita Marie’s has been the 7x12 Quaker-style coop with storage room. This layout features a 4’x7’ walk-through shed area for storage of feed, tools and materials, with easy walk-in access into the hen house. Each room has natural light and ventilation, and the hen house has openings on 3 walls for a cross-breeze in the summer time. The hen house features two roosting bars, nesting boxes with outside access, and a chicken “pop” door to the outside. These coops are pre-built by Rita Marie’s experienced Amish crew, and are ready to use on delivery day. They are made from housing materials, and are built to last.
