Some coops are just too big to deliver in one piece… so sometimes I have to bring the shop to the customer. 🐔🏠
Last week I spent a few days in Glen Allen, Virginia delivering and setting up this 6x12 coop with an attached 12x20 run — and this one definitely earned the title “Chicken Mansion.”
This build was packed with custom features, including:
• Torched wood finished with a clear water seal
• Black metal roof
• Black hardware cloth and accents
• Vinyl flooring inside the coop
• Automatic chicken door
• Built-in brooder box with p**p shelf top
• Built-in storage area
• Plenty of roosting space
• Solar-powered 4-fan wall unit for ventilation
• Black barn lights
• Hardware cloth buried around the entire run for extra predator protection
The torched wood absolutely made this coop pop. The deep, rich tones mixed with the black roof, black hardware cloth, and barn lights gave it a bold, rustic, one-of-a-kind look. Definitely not your average backyard chicken coop.
This was one of those builds that had to be delivered in sections and finished on-site. A little more work, a little more sweat 😂 — but seeing everything come together made it worth it.
Huge thank you to Stephanie for trusting me with this build — and for taking care of me while I was there with dinner and a hotel.
The coop turned out so nice I told her I was just going to spend the night in it, but she insisted on the hotel 😂
That’s one of my favorite parts about building truly custom coops. No cookie-cutter designs, no assembly line — just building something unique around the customer, their property, and their flock.
Built right. Built local. Built to last.
