At Lucky Bird coops we believe in building quality coops that will stand the test of time.

A great coop isn’t about one big feature. It’s about getting the small details right 👇

1️⃣ Big clean-out doors. Back the wheelbarrow right up and rake it all out.
2️⃣ 12x12 nesting boxes sized to fit pre-made nesting pads, so they drop right in.
3️⃣ Windows that open and lock in place, so you control the airflow and keep the girls comfortable.
4️⃣ Secure latches: carabiners predators can’t work open, a chain so the latch never goes missing, and an emergency pull latch so you can never get locked inside the run.
5️⃣ Factory-painted galvanized metal roofing that lasts for years, in more colors than you’d guess (“maybe not a gazillion”).

Missed Part 1? It’s on our page.

📌 Save this for your coop checklist.

If your coop is missing any of these, your flock is paying for it 👀

These are the 5 things we’d never build a coop without:

1️⃣ 19-gauge galvanized welded hardware cloth, so nothing reaches in or jumps in.
2️⃣ A 24"""" predator apron staked around the whole perimeter, so digging predators hit wire instead of your hens.
3️⃣ Overlapping doors and windows. If you can see daylight around the edges, winter wind can get in too.
4️⃣ Ventilation without big openings. Warm, moist air rises out under the ridge cap, with no drafts on the roost.
5️⃣ An automatic door that opens after sunrise and closes after sunset, so nobody has to rush home to lock up.

Most big box coops cut corners on these. We build every one of ours around them.

📌 Save this checklist for when you’re coop shopping.

Not every moment on build day makes the highlight reel… but these made the cut 😂

Three lines, three very different levels of confidence. Somewhere between “trying to help” and “impressing yourself” is exactly how a family coop build goes.

Before you spend a dime on a chicken coop, ask these 4 questions. 🐓

Bill has been building coops for years, and these are the questions he says most people forget to ask:

1️⃣ What stops a fox from digging under it? Foxes don’t climb in. They dig in, right at the base of the wall. If there’s no wire apron around the outside, there’s nothing to stop them.
2️⃣ Can you see daylight around the doors? Close the coop and look. If light gets through the gaps, so do wind, snow and rain.
3️⃣ Can you clean it standing up? If you have to crawl, crouch or reach to clean it, that chore gets put off, and your flock pays for it.
4️⃣ Will it make it through five Colorado winters? Not one. Five. Thin wood and cheap wire start to give out after a season or two.

Every Lucky Bird coop is hand-built by our family in Franktown to pass all four.

Save this for when you start coop shopping, and tag a friend who’s getting chickens this spring! 👇

Built for the flock, designed for the people who care for it 🐔

Austin takes you through this 8x10 coop and 10x20 run we built in Elizabeth, CO:

🐓 Walk-in height. Austin is over 6 ft and never has to duck.
🦊 Predator-proof from every side: 19-gauge hardware cloth, gravity latches with carabiners, and a 24" dig-proof apron.
🦆 A flatter ramp, because this flock includes ducks.
🌬️ A ribbed galvanized roof and lockable windows for airflow all year.
🥚 Outside-access nesting boxes, so you can collect eggs without stepping inside.
📦 A dividing wall for storage, so the feed and tools come out of the shed.
🌼 Planter boxes for “a little pizzazz.”
