Chicken Coops & Pens
Raise your chickens in a secure and comfortable environment with chicken coops and pens from Tractor Supply. Whether you're a seasoned farmer or a backyard enthusiast, our selection ensures the safety and happiness of your feathered friends.
Chicken Coop Basics
Size: Ensure your coop is large enough to comfortably house your flock by allotting at least 4 square feet per chicken.
Security: Opt for sturdy frames, predator-proof latches and appropriate mesh to better protect your chickens from potential hazards.
Ease of Cleanliness: Prioritize pens with removable trays or coops with accessible doors for easy up-keep. Additionally, quality coop litter, made from durable and lightweight material that absorbs moisture while drying quickly, is crucial for maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for chickens.
A Place to Lay Eggs: If you are raising egg-laying chickens, you’ll want to make sure they have a comfortable area to do so. Hens prefer to lay their eggs in dark secluded areas; by installing nesting boxes into your coop or pen, you can ensure that your hens feel safe and the easy retrieval of intact eggs.
A Place to Sleep: Chickens prefer roosting off the ground to feel secure from predators, requiring a minimum of 8 inches of space per bird, or 10 inches for larger breeds. Installing perches in stair-step fashion can provide multiple levels for chickens to hop onto, facilitating both safety and ease of cleaning.
Ventilation: A well-ventilated coop or pen helps you keep a healthy and safe environment for your chickens. Choosing coops with windows and using breathable poultry netting or chicken wire can help to provide your flock with light and fresh air.
Food: Consider placing feeders and waterers inside the shelter of the coop or pen or under a covered area to help prevent spoilage and algae growth and promote cleanliness and temperature control.
