The Chicken Castle

Description

The Chicken Castle is a 6-foot by 20-foot custom chicken coop built in East Texas, with a 6×8 hen house and 6×12 covered run that roosts 50 to 60 chickens. It comes standard with a solar-powered automatic chicken door, motion-activated solar security lights, and twelve exterior-access laying boxes.

What is The Chicken Castle?

The Chicken Castle earns its name. At 6 feet wide and 20 feet long with 6-foot walls, it is one of the larger coops in the Boondock Ranch lineup, built for a flock that has outgrown the starter setup and is ready for real kingdom space. The hen house measures 6×8 feet and the covered run adds another 6×12 feet, giving your Ladies plenty of room to scratch, dust bathe, and generally act like royalty.

How many chickens does The Chicken Castle hold?

Roosting space runs 50 to 60 chickens, depending on breed. The covered run gives the flock enough space that a chicken lady can leave the Ladies to their own devices for an afternoon while she runs to the feed store, or Tractor Supply, where she will definitely not buy any more chickens.

What features come standard on The Chicken Castle?

Every Chicken Castle comes with:

– A solar-powered automatic chicken door
– Motion-activated solar security lights
– Twelve laying boxes, accessible from outside the coop so you never have to duck inside to collect eggs

The coop is designed to be easy to clean and easy to maintain, because a palace is only livable if someone can actually keep up with it.

How does The Chicken Castle stay cool in summer?

The roosting bars and laying boxes are built from rough-cut pine, not treated lumber, because we do not want our Ladies sitting on treated wood. Ventilation ports at the top of the truss draft cooler, shaded air up from under the covered run and push warmer air out near the roofline, creating a natural draft through the hen house on hot summer nights.

Color options

The Chicken Castle is available unpainted, redwood stained, or in a custom two-color paint job to match your place.

Built in East Texas for East Texas conditions, The Chicken Castle is made for keepers who take chicken math seriously and want their flock living a life of luxury. If your flock is a bit smaller, The Chicken Cottage or The Deluxe Chicken Palace may be a better fit.
