Description
Feed Room Entry & Outdoor Egg Access Door
Introducing the Driftless Outdoors Homestead Coop - the chicken palace that's tougher than your rooster's attitude! This isn't your grandma's rickety old coop - we're talking serious chicken real estate here.
Chicken Coop with Storage Shed
Your feathered friends get their very own VIP entrance with a fancy feed room up front. That's right - no more getting pecked while you're trying to fill up their dinner bowls! And speaking of fancy, there are not one, but two windows for your chickens to watch their favorite soap operas (or, you know, keep an eye out for hawks).
- But wait, there's more! Your hens will feel like they're staying at a five-star hotel with their private nesting box. And here's the best part - you can collect eggs from the outside! No more playing "dodge the broody hen" when it's egg-gathering time.
Insulated Chicken Coop for Winter
- This bad boy is wrapped in metal tougher than your teenager's music, and the treated floor system means it'll last longer than your kids' interest in doing their chores. Plus, there's super-smart 1/4" bubble wrap insulation that keeps your chickens toasty in winter and cool in summer.
Perfect for...
- Families who want happy hens (and even happier kids collecting eggs)
- Homesteaders who are tired of coops that fall apart faster than New Year's resolutions
- Anyone who thinks their chickens deserve better than some flimsy Pinterest DIY project
Completely Assembled & Insulated Coop Shipped to Your Home

P.S. Your neighbors' chickens will totally be jealous. Just saying.
