The "Champion" of  Chicken Coops

Designed by a Maine artisan and poultry enthusiast, Champion Coops are built specifically for the extremes of a New England climate, are designed for ease of use and accessibility, and provide a safe and secure home for your flock.

Chicken Coop with Optimal Accessibility

Champion Coops are designed first and foremost for ease of use. 
The enclosed coop/roost area is designed so the doors are at an ergonomically friendly height to minimize bending or stooping when collecting eggs, cleaning, or doing any other chicken chores. 
An optional heavy duty vinyl floor liner further simplifies coop cleaning.

​Easily access the interior of the coop and moveable nest boxes through either of the large doors:  the clean out hatch on the back side or the hinged door(s) on the run side.  

​The walk-in run area simplifies daily feeding and watering chores, and cleaning the run area becomes a painless task.​

Chicken Coop with Four Season Comfort

The versatile design of the Champion Coop provides an environment where your chickens will not just merely survive, but THRIVE through the extremes of winter nights with a wind chill far below zero all the way to steamy summer days with a triple digit heat index.

Four-Season Comfort Features Include:

• window(s) +/or vent(s) on each end of enclosed coop for temperature and humidity regulation
• hatch door at top of chicken ramp and door(s) between run and coop can be used to further manage the chickens' environment
• covered/shaded run area protects from sun AND snow
• insulated roof option
• movable nest boxes allow you to adjust placement according to seasonal needs (ex/if you only want to shovel a path to one door!)

Design Feature Spotlight:  Open-Air Summer Roosting
​
While providing a draft-free enclosed roosting area is crucial to your chickens' well-being in the winter, that same space can get rather stuffy in the summer!

Once the run perimeter of your Champion Coop is secured using our perimeter security kit or your chosen "dig-proof" methods/materials, the entire coop and run area is safe from predators day and night.  This means that in warm weather, the door between the enclosed roosting area and outdoor run area can stay open, giving your chickens a refreshing indoors-out experience.
​
Here in Maine, we keep ours open from May through October and the chickens love it.

Built to Last

Safely keeping chickens in a northern climate requires more from a coop than what is offered by most options on the market. 
From the ground up, Champion Coops are built to last:

We use all solid wood construction, including:

• pressure treated 4x4 rims for ground contact,
• all cedar framing and run cover strips
• pre-treated pine board siding​

Roofing and flooring materials are chosen specifically for performance and durability:

• durable Galvalume metal roofing
• Advantech is a premium brand sub-flooring highly resistant to de-laminating, even in high moisture environments.

Security Detail

The tight, rugged build of the Champion Coop goes a long way toward protecting your flock from predators, but we've included additional security features to satisfy even the most cautious of chicken keepers:  

• run enclosure covered in 1/2 inch  galvanized steel welded wire, securely fastened with cedar closure strips
• perimeter security kit option to deter digging predators
• heavy duty door hardware that can be clipped or locked

*PLEASE NOTE:    Most companies selling coops will use an "industry standard" of 2 square feet per bird for housing and 4 s.f. per bird for run space.   The spacing recommendations we give are based on about 4 s.f. per bird of coop space plus 8 s.f. per bird for run space, giving a total of about 12 s.f. per bird. (based on standard breed sizes, ex/Rhode Island Reds), which is what we personally adhere to with our own chickens and confidently recommend to our customers.   So if you're comparing us to other coops, use the "Industry Standard" range given above for an accurate comparison.
