The Best Chicken Coop – The Reverse Wichita Cabin Coop – A chicken coop designed for 5-6 chickens. It features 3 nesting boxes and 2 roosting bars in the main shelter, along with a chicken door that can be opened-closed from outside of the chicken coop. Outside of the main shelter is a small yard for the hens to scratch around in. A large door on the front of the shelter provides easy access into the chicken coop for cleaning, and the yard area is large enough for an adult to stand in without needing to bend over. Above the nesting boxes is a lift-up lid that allows for egg gathering without the need to enter into the chicken coop. The is probably the best chicken coop for anyone that is interested in raising just several hens for egg production. This is my version of the Wichita Cabin Coop as seen at BackyardChickens dot com.

2 winter chicken coop / shelters
www.permies.com First, Tereza Fox, of foxbelly farm in Hillsboro, Oregon tells us about a ground level chicken shelter. It’s sorta an earth-berm thing. The idea is that the chickens can stay warmer and, thus, require less winter feed. Next, Marina and Robert of Dell Artimus Farm talk about their year round chicken coop that is winterized with straw bales. They keep woodchips under the coop and they think the composting heat helps to warm the chickens. Free range pigs visit a lot during the video. Marina and Robert talk a little about how they haven’t had predator problems this year.
