The Deluxe Chicken Palace

Description

The Deluxe Chicken Palace is a 6-foot by 20-foot chicken coop built in East Texas, pairing a 6×6 hen house with a 6×14 covered run for a free-ranging flock of 20 to 30 chickens. It comes standard with a solar-powered automatic chicken door, motion-activated solar security lights, and eight exterior-access laying boxes.

What comes standard on the Deluxe Chicken Palace?

Every Deluxe Chicken Palace ships ready to work, not ready for a shopping list of upgrades. Standard features include:

– Automatic solar-powered chicken door
– Motion-activated solar-powered security lights
– Eight laying boxes, all accessible from outside the coop
– Dual clean-out doors for easy maintenance
– A dutch door on the hen house

It’s built using quality materials, including treated lumber in the places that need to stand up to weather and ground moisture.

How many chickens fit in the Deluxe Chicken Palace?

The 6×6 hen house and 6×14 covered run are sized for a free-range flock of 20 to 30 chickens, the kind that spends most of the day out foraging and comes home to roost. That run space also means the flock can hold its own for a day or two while the Chicken Lady takes a weekend off. She’s earned it.

Why rough-cut pine instead of treated lumber for the roosting bars and laying boxes?

The roosting bars and laying boxes inside the hen house are built from rough-cut pine, not treated lumber. Treated lumber is great for legs, skids, and anything exposed to ground moisture, but it’s not where the Ladies should be sitting for hours at a time. Rough-cut pine keeps the surfaces the flock actually touches free of that treatment.

How does the ventilation work?

The Deluxe Chicken Palace uses passive ventilation instead of fans or vents that need power. Ventilation ports near the top of the truss pull cooler, shaded air up from underneath the covered run and push warmer air out near the roof. On a hot East Texas summer night, that creates a natural draft through the hen house without anything to plug in or switch on.

Color options

The Deluxe Chicken Palace is available unpainted, red stained, or in a custom two-color paint scheme, so it can match the rest of the property or stand out as its own little kingdom.

Just like every coop we build, we want your chickens to live a life of luxury.
