Wire over Windows


Opening the windows on your coop can create perfect cross ventilation but if you have some common predators, like raccoons or foxes, you could be putting your chickens at risk. Adding wire over your windows ensures a completely safe enclosure, all year long.

1/2" x 1/2" Wire on Run

Heavy Duty Nesting Box Latches 


Last, but definitely not least, is our latches. While the nesting box lid on the Quaker, Combination, and Dutch coops, are quite sturdy and heavy, we've found that clever predators, especially raccoons, have figured out how to open it. With the Heavy Duty Nesting Box Latches, you can be sure nothing but a human will be able to unlatch and lift the lid. 

Insulated Ceiling


Love the shingled roof but looking to keep your chickens a little toastier in the winter? Upgrade to the Insulated Ceiling (for shingles only). 

Insulated Metal Roof


Like a more modern look to your coop? Upgrade from shingles to an insulated metal roof. With a 40 yr manufacturers warranty, your coop will stand the test of time. 

Heated Roosts


Sometimes all you need is to warm your feet! That's what the heated roosts is for. When temps drop below 35 degrees inside your coop, they come on to keep your chickens toasty from the bottom up!

Space Heater and Safety Shelf


No matter where you're located, there are going to be those extra cold winter hours and you don't want to be up all night wondering if your girls are freezing their feathers off! Nobody likes chicken popsicles, so help maintain a comfortable temperature in your coop. The safety shelf ensures your heater is tucked away but just in case, our space heaters have a tip-over function that shuts them off automatically.

Epoxy Floor


A smooth finish that will protect your coop floor from rough messy hens. Easy to rinse off and wipe down, this is our most popular and most recommended option. You won't regret it! 

Clean-Out Lid


Along the back of your coop, 1-2 lids will open to allow clear access to the floor of your coop. From there you can sweep or rake any litter out of your coop. Sturdy latches are set in place to hold the lid open while you clean. 

Litter Trays 


It's a proven fact that chickens make the most mess while sitting on their roosting bars. We've figured out a way to keep roosting bar ruckus to a minimum with these easy cleaning. poly litter trays. Set right underneath the roosting bars for maximum collection, they slide out the back of your coop through a lid. Pop the wire top off and quickly dump out the mess. Rinse, replace, repeat! 

Double Clean-Out w/ Litter Trays

Deep Litter System


If you are familiar with the Deep Litter Method or would like to start using this method, then this is the perfect add-on for you! A 12" deep, poly lined floor will ensure plenty of space to start piling on the litter. And when it's finally time to clean it all out, the gable end clean-out lid gives you just enough of an opening to clear out the litter. The non-closing ridge vent provides continuous ventilation. However, please note, this option is recommended for warm weather climates, due to the constant ventilation. 

Combo Run Clean-Out


Purchasing the all-in-one Combination Coop is exciting, but don't forget, chickens love shady areas! They will crawl underneath the house, pooping along the way, and even laying the occasional egg or two. With the Combo Run Clean-out, you can easily reach under the house, and rake anything out.
