Our handmade chicken coops are built with unparalleled craftsmanship by an Amish family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Raising chickens is a backyard pastime that is both fun and rewarding for every member of your family. You can enjoy raising chickens whether you are a beginner to livestock or a seasoned veteran with a farm full of animals. To successfully raise chickens, they need a safe area in which to live and forage for food, away from predators. A chicken coop is a perfect structure for creating an environment for your chickens to thrive and produce. Protect your chickens and give them a comfortable living area with one of our handcrafted chicken coops. Many styles and options are available to fit your needs.
