This Rhode Island Homestead Hen House with Run Extension Options is eggstatic!!

So why does it say chicken coop for 10 chickens? There are factors to consider: what chicken breeds are you getting, are you able to let them free range? We recommend taking a look at the measurements and seeing what you feel comfortable with, remembering your girls are only going to be in the hen house to roost and lay their eggs.

Keep in mind the chickens share nesting boxes and stand side by side on the roosting rods! 

• Water Tight: Our chicken coop for 10 chickens with a run extension has flashing above the nesting box roof lids to prevent water from running into the nesting box.
• Easy cleaning: Has a pull-out tray to catch their waste for easy cleaning
• Quality Construction: Heavy gauge stainless steel hardware, galvanized wire mesh, hard plastic lined under roof panels for additional moisture barrier, Ajustlock bolt latches, supporting braces between panels, Acrylic sliding window, Fold down and LOCKING window covers!
• Thoughtful engineering: Solid construction, added supports under the nesting box, diagonal wood supports on all panels, panel reinforcement...
• Easy Access: Doors under each nesting box for easy access to the space under the hen house. The Run has a door panel and half door on the end panel. This makes cleaning the run a cinch and helps in letting the girls out for free ranging. 
• A lot of interior space: 143.5”long x 65.5″wide x 67″tall, 7 roosting rods, 16 inches of clearance under the hen house etc.
• Fast Delivery: We ship using FedEx from our warehouses, we use bubble wrap and foam as well as a very thick cardboard box. This Coop comes in three boxes!
• Easy to Assemble: Each piece is labeled and pilot holes pre-drilled. The step-by-step videos on our YouTube channel are also available!

The dimensions of this coop are: 

Hen House: 65.5 inches wide x 66.5 inches tall x 41.75 inches long with three 37.5 inch roosting rods and one 36-inch roosting rod. 

Total Weight:  175 pounds 

Plenty of Interior space:

• 41” x 65” interior floor space
• 6 Nesting Boxes
• 3 Lower interior roosting bars
• 2 Raised interior roosting bars (similar coops only have 1!)
• 16” clearance under the hen house
  

The original Rhode Island Homestead Chicken Coop is solid! One of the things you will notice is that our chicken run EXTENDS under each nesting box. More than providing additional space for your hens, this is CRITICAL as it gives support for the nesting box (this may seem minor, however, without the support the nesting boxes will sag after a short period of time).

Keep in mind that you can purchase additional run extensions and additional hen houses if you would like to expand and customize your coop space!

Run Extension Options:

We offer three run options. Our original run, which is approximately three feet high, a walk-in run that is six feet high, and our XL Brahma Run that is six feet high, six feet wide and eight feet long.

Original Run - 4ft high

39.5 inches wide x 50.5 inches tall x 101 inches long, has two 37.5-inch roosting rods and one 36 inch roosting rod

Walk-In Run - 6ft high

39.5 inches wide x 71.75 inches tall x 101 inches long, has two 37.5-inch roosting rods and one 36 inch roosting rod

Walk-In Run - 6ft high x 8ft long

74.5 inches wide x 71.75 inches tall x 101 inches long.

A few additional points to consider:

• Our chicken coop kit for 10 chickens with a run extension has flashing above the nesting box roof lids to prevent water from running into the nesting box
• Our carabiners and other hardware are heavy-duty stainless steel
• Easy to clean pull out tray to catch their waste and keep things clean
• Our amazing coop has multiple vents providing important airflow in the chicken house 
• Each panel has four additional diagonal wooden support pieces 
• Run extension/support under each nesting box (without support the nesting boxes sag and quickly fall apart
• Acrylic sliding window rather than wood which can shrink or expand and make it difficult to open the windows/vents
• Hard plastic liner under all roof panels for durability and weatherproofing
• We use strong chicken wire mesh (twice as thick as most other coops) with small holes to keep predators out 
• We use heavy-duty hardware (Ajustlock bolt latches!)
• EVERY piece is labeled, and our instructions are thorough and written by us =) 
• We sell hen houses and runs separately allowing you to customize and expand your set up 
• THICK nest box dividers (twice the thickness of most other coops)
• Well-constructed ladder 

You are sure to love the doors under each nesting box, which provide easy access to the space under the hen house. This allows for easy cleaning and for letting the girls in and out. The run has a door panel, and on the run's end panel, half the panel is a door. This makes cleaning the run a cinch and helps with free-ranging. 

Final Suggestions:

Since they are made of wood and will be outside 24/7, we STRONGLY recommend that you stain, lacquer or paint your extra large (XL) chicken coop with a run for 10 chickens. The stain applied is a base coat that is not designed to protect your coop long term from the elements.  Often in transit parts can get dinged or scratched etc. You may need to touch up your coop before staining or painting it! Once set up we recommend anchoring it down, this can be as simple as a stake on each side of the hen house and run area. As much as we have tried to predator proof our coops, you know your area best and you may want to put wire around your coop, or put pavers. You'll always want to double check hardware and latches to make sure everything is tight and secure. Larger predators like bears you will want to look at installing an electric fence around the perimeter.
