Common questions
How many chickens can each coop hold?
4x4: up to 8 • 5x6: up to 12 • 5x8: up to 16.
Why are there fewer nesting boxes than chickens?
Chickens share nesting boxes (and often prefer to). You don’t need a 1:1 nesting box ratio.
Do you offer shingles instead of metal roofing?
Yes — shingles are available for HOA matching. Metal is standard and most popular.
Can you do fully custom builds?
Sometimes. Custom requests are handled case-by-case depending on design complexity and timing.
