Expandable Starter Coop with Reinforced Nesting Boxes and Covered Run
Some small coops look fine at first.
Then the nesting boxes start to sag… the wood weathers too fast… and cleaning turns into more work than it should be.
The Leghorn Cottage Chicken Coop was designed to avoid those problems while keeping things simple for smaller flocks.
This coop is built for 4 to 6 chickens, depending on breed size and how much time they spend outside the run. It gives your flock a raised, enclosed space for roosting and laying, with a protected run attached for daytime use.
It’s a practical starting point for backyard chicken keeping—without locking you into a setup that becomes frustrating later.
But what really matters shows up once you start using it every day.
- Supported nesting boxes to prevent sagging over time
- Two roosting bars for comfortable nighttime spacing
- Pull-out droppings tray for easier cleaning
- Three run access doors for full reach underneath the coop
- Raised design with 15” clearance for shaded run space
It’s built for real backyard use, not just appearance.
Covered Run Roof Option
Add a solid roof over your run to give your flock a dry, shaded space year-round. This metal roof helps block rain, snow, and harsh sun, so your chickens can stay comfortable even when the weather turns. It also keeps bedding drier and reduces mud inside the run, making daily upkeep easier. Built from powder-coated steel, it’s designed to hold up over time without constant maintenance. Add the roof to your covered run.
Product Features
- Chicken coop designed for 4–6 chickens (breed and setup dependent)
- Overall footprint: 76" long x 31.5" wide (34" including roof)
- Raised wooden hen house with ladder access
- 2 interior roosting bars
- Exterior-access nesting box
- Pull-out droppings tray beneath roosting area
- Acrylic sliding window for ventilation and light
- Multiple airflow vents
- Sliding hen house door with metal handle
- 3 access doors to the run area
- Heavy-gauge wire mesh pre-installed on panels
- Diagonal reinforcement supports on panels
- Plastic-lined roof panels for moisture protection
- Flashing above nesting box lid to reduce water entry
- Run extends beneath nesting box for added support and usable space
Reinforced Nesting Box Design
One of the most common failure points in small coops is the nesting box.
Many designs attach it directly to the side wall with no structural support. Over time, that weight causes sagging.
This coop avoids that issue.
The run extends underneath the nesting box, providing built-in structural support while also creating additional usable run space.
It’s a simple design choice—but it makes a big difference long term.
Interior Space and Layout
Chickens use the coop mostly for sleeping and laying eggs.
What matters most is roost space, nesting access, and airflow—not packing as many birds inside as possible.
Interior Layout
- 2 roosting bars
- Shared nesting space
- 15 inches of clearance beneath the coop
The raised design creates shaded space underneath where chickens can rest, scratch, and dust bathe during the day.

Built for Backyard Conditions
This coop is designed to handle everyday exposure to weather and flock activity.
The roof panels include a plastic liner for added moisture protection, and flashing above the nesting box helps keep rain out of the laying area.
Each panel is reinforced with diagonal supports to maintain strength and shape over time.
The wire mesh is heavier than typical lightweight coops, and all panels arrive pre-assembled with mesh already installed.
Easy Cleaning and Access
Cleaning is easier when you can actually reach everything.
This design includes three separate run access doors, giving you full access to the space beneath the coop.
Inside the hen house, the pull-out tray catches overnight droppings.
Slide it out.
Clean it.
Slide it back in.
Simple and repeatable.
Assembly and Shipping
This coop ships in two boxes with all components labeled and pre-drilled.
The wire mesh is already installed, reducing setup time.
Most customers complete assembly in about one hour using a power screwdriver.
Box 1: 29" x 11" x 40" – 49 lbs
Box 2: 32" x 8" x 48" – 50 lbs
Setup Recommendations
This coop is made from wood and will be outdoors full-time.
Applying a stain, paint, or protective finish after assembly is strongly recommended.
The factory coating is a base layer and is not designed for long-term weather protection.
Anchoring the coop with stakes or ground anchors is also recommended for stability.
Predator protection varies by location. Some setups may require additional wire, barriers, or electric fencing depending on local conditions.
Important Notes
- Capacity depends on breed size and free-range access
- Chickens share nesting boxes and roost side by side
- Not compatible with automatic coop doors
Easy Assembly Instructions (Note since this video we have added two additional doors which makes accessing all points of the run area much easier)
Ships in two boxes!
Box 1 of 2: 29x11x40 inches 49 lbs
Box 2 of 2: 32x8x48 inches 50 lbs
Assembly & Shipping Details
Assembly is simple and usually takes about 3 hours. It’s even easier with two people, and all you need is a power drill—every hole is already pre-drilled for you.
Your coop will arrive in 3 to 6 boxes, depending on the model. Most coops and runs ship with FedEx and typically arrive within 3–5 days after you place your order. The larger Brahma Coop ships on a pallet by freight (LTL) and usually arrives within 5–9 days, depending on your location.
Can You Paint This Coop?
Yes—you absolutely can. Each coop comes with two coats of water-based stain already applied, which helps protect the wood right out of the box.
If you’d prefer a different color or want to match your home or yard, you can paint over it without any issues. The surface is ready for paint, making it an easy and flexible option for customization.
Whether you keep the natural stained look or choose your own color, your coop will stay protected and look great in your space.
