Chicken coops for safe, dry backyard flocks
Valuhub's chicken coops collection brings together wooden hen houses, walk-in metal runs and coop accessories for backyard flocks. Each style gives hens a place to roost, lay eggs and stay safe from weather and predators. Most listings say how many chickens the coop suits.
These coops suit first-time keepers with two hens and hobby flocks of a dozen birds. Valuhub Canada also carries rabbit and duck housing, so mixed backyard animals are covered. Browse the wider Small Animals range for hutches, cages and other housing.

Types of chicken coops in this collection
Five kinds of coops and accessories make up the range, from the largest group to the smallest.
Wooden hen houses with a run
A wooden chicken coop with run joins a sleeping house and an outdoor pen. It is the largest group here. Most have a nesting box, a pull-out tray, a ramp and a waterproof asphalt roof. Lengths run from about 119 cm (47 in) to 361 cm (142 in), in grey, natural and orange. Some double as a rabbit hutch.
Walk in chicken coops and runs
A walk-in metal chicken coop uses a galvanized steel frame, wire mesh and a waterproof, UV-resistant cover. You can stand inside to feed, clean and collect eggs. Sizes start near 2.8 m (9.2 ft) long and reach about 7 m (23 ft). Many have a lockable door. Each chicken run is listed for flocks of 3 to 14.
Small and mobile coops
Small coops suit one or two hens, or a few ducks or rabbits. One compact wooden model is 91 cm (36 in) long. A few designs have wheels. A portable chicken coop is easy to shift across the lawn.
Extensions and combinable coops
Extension and combinable coops let a flock grow without starting over. A 140 cm (55 in) extension adds roosting bars to a coop you own. One 361 cm (142 in) combinable coop is listed for 6 to 10 chickens.
Nesting boxes, doors and accessories
Accessories round out the range. Chicken nesting boxes come with three compartments or room for two hens. A metal feeder is also listed. An automatic coop door with app control is designed to open and close without a daily visit.

How do you choose a chicken coop?
Match the size to your flock
Plan about 0.37 m² (4 sq ft) indoors and 0.9 m² (10 sq ft) in the run per hen. Four hens then need about 1.5 m² inside and 3.7 m² outside. Compare these numbers with the listed size, not just the chicken count in the title.
Check the roof and cover
A waterproof roof keeps bedding dry, and metal runs need a waterproof, UV-resistant cover. Snow adds weight, so choose a sturdy frame. Dry bedding and good ventilation matter more than extra insulation for most flocks.
Plan for predators
Raccoons can open simple latches, so look for a lockable door and wire mesh over every opening. Fine mesh stops small predators better than thin chicken wire. A walk-in run with a lockable door gives the most protection.
Make cleaning and egg collection easy
A pull-out tray lets you clear droppings without crawling inside. Allow about one nesting box for every 4 hens, and pick a box you can reach from outside. Ramps should be wide enough for hens to climb safely.
Allow for ventilation and perches
High vents let damp air escape without blowing on sleeping hens. Allow 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) of perch space per hen. Keep roosting bars higher than the nesting box.
Where does a backyard chicken coop work best?
A small city or suburban yard suits a compact wooden coop with an attached run. Check local bylaws first, since many Canadian towns limit flock size and coop placement. Add feeders and bedding from our pet supplies range.
Larger properties and hobby flocks suit a walk-in run. Standing inside makes daily feeding and cleaning quicker, and the covered frame shades birds from sun and rain. An outdoor chicken coop of this size can also house ducks or rabbits, since many listings name all three.
Keepers of rabbits and ducks can use the same styles. Several wooden listings double as a rabbit hutch, and duck coops have an openable roof and double doors. The Small Animals range covers more hutches and cages.
How do you set up and care for a chicken coop?
A chicken coop belongs on level, well-drained ground, away from standing water. Clean the tray weekly, replace damp bedding and check latches and mesh before winter. Keep feed in a lidded container so rodents stay out, and give hens fresh water every day. Follow the assembly guide that comes with each product.

Chicken coop FAQs
What size chicken coop do I need?
Plan about 0.37 m² (4 sq ft) indoors and 0.9 m² (10 sq ft) of run per hen. Four hens then need roughly 1.5 m² inside and 3.7 m² of run. Larger breeds and long winters call for more room.
How many chickens fit in a chicken coop with run?
Each listing states its own capacity. It runs from 1 or 2 chickens on compact wooden coops to 10 to 15 on the longest runs. Check the size in centimetres and inches, then divide the floor area by the space each hen needs.
Is a walk in chicken coop better than a wooden coop?
A walk-in metal run gives more space and lets you stand inside. A wooden coop has a sheltered house, nesting box and tray built in. Many keepers pair a wooden house for sleeping and laying with a walk-in run for daytime space.
What is the best large chicken coop for a bigger flock?
A large chicken coop for six or more hens needs roosting space, a roomy run and secure doors. Wooden coops reach 361 cm (142 in) and walk-in runs reach 7 m (23 ft). Check each listing for its stated capacity.
How do I keep predators out of a coop?
Use a lockable door, sturdy wire mesh on every opening and a latch raccoons cannot lift. Close the pop door at dusk. A walk-in run with a covered frame adds a second barrier around the house.
Do chicken coops need ventilation in winter?
Yes. Hens add moisture through breathing and droppings, so high vents are needed even in cold weather. Place vents near the roof, away from roosting hens, and cover them with mesh. Dry bedding helps flocks stay comfortable.
