Homestead Hen House for 2–4 Chickens

Some mornings start with a latch, a soft cluck and a warm egg in a small hand. The Homestead Hen House gives two to four hens a proper home at the edge of the lawn: a storybook-shaped coop in solid fir wood, with windows that catch the morning light, planters at the front and two nesting boxes that open from the outside. It reads as part of the garden rather than equipment parked in it.

Why families love it

• Room for a small flock. The 71.7″ L x 49.6″ W x 53.5″ H frame houses 2 to 4 chickens, with a 39.4″ perch inside the main house.
• Eggs without the interruption. Two external nesting boxes, 40.2″ L x 14.6″ W x 18.5″ H, let children gather eggs from outside without unsettling the birds.
• Air and daylight all day. Multiple windows, including a 16.3″ W x 17.7″ H side window and a dedicated vent, keep circulation moving through the house.
• Built for weather. Solid fir wood under waterproof paint, with a waterproof roof, so rain and sun are part of the plan rather than a problem.
• Cleaning takes minutes. The large main door measures 17.1″ W x 34.6″ H, wide enough to reach every corner with a rake or a brush.
• A garden project, too. Two attached flower planters turn the coop into something the whole family plants and tends.

Designed for

This is a coop for backyard-homestead families keeping a first small flock, and for children old enough to help with daily chores alongside an adult. Plan on a level patch of ground of roughly six feet by four feet, with the roofline standing about four and a half feet tall, plus walking room on the door side for cleaning and on the nesting-box side for collecting eggs. The gray, light gray and yellow finish is meant to be seen from the kitchen window, so give it a spot you look at rather than one you hide. See how it sits beside the rest of our Backyard Coops before you choose.

Assembly & care

Assembly is required, and the manual ships in the box. Build it on level ground, ideally with a second pair of hands. Day to day, wipe the painted surfaces clean and clear the nesting boxes and perch on a regular schedule. The fir wood arrives sealed with waterproof paint; keeping that seal intact, and touching it up where the finish wears, is what keeps a wooden coop looking good season after season. Our assembly and care guide covers the rest.

Measurements are supplier-provided. Allow a little extra room around the footprint for walking space.
