How to
Set up your chicken coop
All the resources you need to make your chicken coop a happy home.
Before you open a box
Watch the walkthrough and skim the guide before your coop arrives. Knowing what's coming makes the build far easier on the day.
Set aside an afternoon
Most families finish in a few hours. Children aged 6–12 can do most of it themselves.

Pick level ground
A flat, well-drained spot makes the build easier and the coop last longer.
