Automatic chicken door 

Your chicken coop comes standard with a small, 9-¼” wide x 12” high, latched wooden door for you to open and close to let your chickens in and out of their coop. 

In addition, your chicken coop also includes the Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door which offers these features:

• Choose to open and close on a timer or manually. 
• Built-in sensor to prevent chickens from getting stuck in the door.
  
• Smart Coop Auto Door's features control panel has internal memory to store settings in case of power loss. 

Heated Roost & Electrical Package 

The electrical package includes an interior light fixture and light switch, an outlet with two receptacles, and it comes with an extension cord hookup to attach to your primary electricity source. The receptacles can be used to plug in your auto chicken door or heated roost.

One of the wooden roosting bar that runs the length of the coop has a heated roost! Talk about luxury. The heated roost is plugged into the receptacle provided by the electrical package, and it’s heated from within by a heated rope, which is completely sealed for safety.

Siding and trim color choices

• The Duratemp® siding is backed by a 50-year limited warranty and won’t split or crack. It has a strong plywood veneer inner core, and a tough hardboard face that has the texture and appearance of natural, rough-sawn cedar. Its durability and strength ensure that maintenance costs are kept down.
• Choose from eight siding color options including: white, light gray, dark gray, red, hunter green, light blue, natural stain, or none. 
• Choose from five trim color options including: white, cream, black, hunter green, or same color choice as siding choice.  

Our paint brand used is "Haley," a high-end line originating out of Lancaster County, PA, that has been in production for more than 100 years. Our stain brand is Woodwright, a unique line of quality oil-based stains made in Ohio.

Keep a Cleaner coop with the Clean Out Lid & Litter Tray!

If you’re a stickler about keeping your coop clean, then you'll love the ease of use of the Clean Out Lid and Litter Tray. 

• The Clean Out Lid runs almost the entire length of the coop on the back, and it allows you to access the coop floor for ease of cleaning. 
• The Litter Tray allows you to easily empty the droppings from the coop to your compost pile. 

Window style and color

• Two white double-hung, slide-up windows with standard screens come with your purchase for ventilation and to add plenty of light!
• The windows are 18” wide and 23” high.
• We added heavy-duty, half-inch vinyl-coated black hardware cloth wire over the screened windows for extra predator protection.

Breathe easy ventilation

• One prop-open ventilation slot comes standard with your purchase.
• The ventilation slot is covered on the inside with sturdy half-inch vinyl coated black hardware cloth wire, to keep out predators, rodents and wild birds.
• The ventilation slot is located on the back of the coop, and runs nearly the whole length of it.
• Two gable vents are also built in for extra ventilation. 

Asphalt shingle roofing

• Asphalt shingles come standard with your purchase. The shingle roof has an aluminum drip edge to keep water from rotting the roof sheathing. 
• Your roof will include OLP Tech Shield Roof Sheathing: a thin, durable layer of aluminum laminated to OSB roof sheathing, which creates a highly effective radiant barrier. This radiant barrier helps to block heat from entering the coop and it will keep the coop cooler in warm weather.

Flooring material

• Five-eighths inch, ACQ pressure-treated plywood flooring comes standard with your purchase.
• The coop legs and runners are also made from ACQ pressure-treated wood to stand up to termites and the elements.

Hardware

• All hinges and locks are zinc-plated and painted black.
• The entry door has a keyed lock handle. The chicken door has a latch that can be latched in the open or closed position. The chicken door latch can be locked in place with a Master Lock or a Clip (not included).
• The nest box lid does not have a latch. The weight of the lid will keep most predators out, however, if there are particularly wily predators in your area, you might want to add a spring-loaded hook and eye latch, a barrel bolt, or something similar.

Quality-Made in America

This classic chicken coop is made in America and handcrafted by the Amish in Lancaster County, PA, using high-quality materials. Each coop is made to order! The pressure-treated base and flooring will keep termites, carpenter ants, and rot at bay.
