Coops are shipped via Freight OR Expedited shipping via UPS ground in 1-3 boxes to the lower 48 states. Shipping to Hawaii and Canada are both available, inquire for rates. 

2. How long does shipping take?

All in STOCK coops ship within 4 working business days (working business days do not include holidays and weekends) transit is via freight unless expedited shipping is selected. Expedited orders go via UPS within 1 business day of placed order. Freight transit does take about 2 weeks, UPS ground takes about 1-7 business days depending upon location.

Pre-sale models with an ETA will ship as soon as they become available. ETA's are an estimated time of shipment. 

3. Do you build the coop for me or does the coop come already assembled?

We do not assemble the coop for you. The coops are assembled and then disassembled and boxed for shipping. Things like hardware cloth (wire), doors, windows and vents are all done for you. It is up to the buyer to put their coop together. These transport best boxed. Typical assembly time is 1-3 hours. 

4. Will the coop keep my chickens warm enough?

Yes, our chicken coops will help protect your chickens from the elements. In some states where temperatures get below 12 degrees for stretches at a time customers may need to winterize their chicken coop or add heat. That being said hens do a great job of raising the temperature of their coop by 10 degrees or more. 

5. Does the coop come with all hardware needed to assemble it?

Yes, all screws and hardware come with the coop. Wire mesh is already installed on the panels for you. 

6. How long does it take to build these?

These take about 1-3 hours to assemble depending upon the model. All coops come with easy picture directions and step by step instructions. 

7. Can I come look at the coops?

At this time no as we do not have coops setup for display. As well as we are truly a small family run and operated business working off our 2 acres with no store front. 

8. Are the Coops predator proof? 

Yes, our chicken coops will help protect your chickens from the usual chicken predators. 

9. Do these coops come pre-treated? 

Yes, all coops come pretreated with an animal safe water based stain. Yearly maintenance is recommended to sustain the life of your coop. 

10. How heavy are the coops? 

Depending on the model the coop weighs between 100-200lbs. The coops are light enough to be tractor style or moved around if desired. 

11. What size is the coop? 

All overall dimensions are given for each coop, this includes nesting boxes. If you need more specific measurements, please inquire. 

12. Do the coops hold up in/to wind?
Yes, if you live in an area prone to wind, place the coop so the wind can travel through and not against the coop. Coops can sustain quite windy situations. However, if you live in a high wind area or are expecting a storm, it is up to you to take measures to protect your coop, such as staking or tying it down.
