Looking for the perfect home for hardworking chickens? The Homestead Chicken Coop is built tough and smart, just like real off-grid farmers.
This cozy coop features a classic lean-to roof that keeps chickens dry when the weather turns rough. Three windows - one in the door and two on the side - let in plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Hens will love laying eggs in the special nesting box, and their owners can collect fresh eggs from outside the coop without disturbing the birds!
Winter can be harsh and summer can get hot when living off the grid, so this coop includes 1/4-inch bubble wrap inside the walls. It works like a jacket for the coop - keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. The metal exterior is super strong and won't rot like wood does, while the treated floor system stands up to all that chicken activity without getting damaged.
This coop is built to last through all seasons, just like a real homestead. It's the kind of chicken house that makes sense for off-grid living - simple, strong, and smart!
Farmers who want to give their chickens a home that's as hardworking as they are need look no further. The Homestead Chicken Coop is ready to serve!
