The Modern Chicken Coop is:
- Designed for up to six chickens
- The run is 5′ x 12′, with the coop elevated above it to reduce the overall footprint,.
- The run has a covered roof to reduce the impacts of our snowy winters and is tall enough for a person to stand up in and clean out as required.
- The coop has two roosts.
- Three 12” x 12” nesting boxes and a full-size door for easy clean-out.
- The nesting boxes have an access door on the side for easy access to those delicious eggs.
- Above the nesting boxes is a dry storage compartment for food and wood shavings.
- The sides of the storage compartment are open to the run below and this is to allow for future large-capacity feeders and waterers to be installed and covered from the elements" (2).
