This coop is super-sized for those of you with a super-sized love of chickens and fresh eggs! Amish-built and based on our smaller Craftsman Coop, it's incredibly heavy-duty and well-made. It can comfortably house up to 40 chickens, so you can grow your flock and produce eggs for your family, neighbors, family, friends, or perhaps even the local farmer's market! With ten nest boxes, your hens won't argue over their privacy when it comes to laying, and you'll easily gather those beautiful eggs with a simple lift of the nest box lid. See below for more details.

Quality Amish Construction. Really. These coops are made by the hard working, detail-oriented Pennsylvania Amish. We've been to the construction site and seen it first-hand. Your coop will hold up against the elements stand the test of time.

Exterior Siding Choices Built with your choice of either Duratemp siding or 1' x 8' white pine board. Duratemp is a hardboard plywood siding, and is manufactured with a strong plywood veneer inner core and a tough hardboard face that won't split, crack or check. It comes in your choice of colors (see the color chart at right), painted with exterior rated latex paint. The 1' x 8' White Pine board and batten siding option is finished with clear coat. In either case, you can expect an attractive-looking and sturdy coop that will provide your flock protection from the elements and predators!

Roof Construction Just like your own home, you have a choice when it comes to roofing materials. Thirty-year, 3-tab asphalt shingles over 1/2" OSB sheathing comes standard on The Egg Lover, and will provide protection from the elements for years to come. You also have the option to upgrade to a 29 guage high tensile steel roof with with four layers of protection, supplying strength, hardness and durability against the outdoor elements.

What's Glasbord and Why Do I Want It?Glasboard is a durable, flexible building material that won't rot, mildew, mold, or corrode. Ten times easier to clean than other similar materials, it also features six times the stain resistance, and double the abrasion resistance. These are all very important considerations when dealing with chickens, with their clawed feet and propensity for poop! With this coop, you can choose to have your entire interior lined with Glasbord! Options are available in the pull-down menus toward the top of the page.

What to know about shipping Your coop will arrive in 3-7 weeks, depending on the time of year and how backed up we are. (If you need it rushed, let us know and we'll try to help.) We phone before delivery to make sure that at least one able-bodied adult will be present to help with placement. Coops are delivered, unloaded and placed in your yard to your specification, provided there's a 10' opening for our truck to access your yard.

This coop costs $700 more to ship anywhere on the west coast; there is no additional charge for delivery anywhere on the east coast, as delineated in the picture at right (click to see it bigger).

NO CANCELLATIONS Because this is a custom coop, once it has left our manufacturer, we cannot allow cancellations due to the high cost of shipping. Please be sure this is the coop you want before you place your order!
