24 Fabulous Backyard Chicken Coops

Raising chickens is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. and the reasons are obvious; chickens keep insect pests at bay, produce homegrown organic eggs and convert vegetable scraps into excellent fertilizer. And there are beautiful handcrafted chicken coops for every situation such as this "Pull It" coop from Horizon Structures which allows you to easily relocate your chicken house whenever the need arises.

Designed for 4-5 hens, this popular model from the Green Chicken Coop combines a pleasing design with practicality; the cedar shake roof is made to last for decades and the triple built-in nesting boxes come with locking lids to make egg retrieval effortless. 

Some chicken owners live in the city and this urban backyard model is a beautiful addition to any yard. Offering 12 square feet of interior space, the Victoria House is perfect for 4-5 hens and the cedar shake roof is waterproof and designed to keep moisture out.

For those who want a larger flock of chickens, consider this handsome coop from Horizon Structures which features 10 roomy nest boxes and a wooden shingle roof which offers better insulation for sound and temperature than a metal roof.
