Meet the Beginner Chicken Coop Kit - your feathered friends' perfect first home! This cozy coop comes in fun colors that kids love: bright red, clean white, or cool gray. The walls have special insulation to keep your chickens toasty when it gets chilly outside.
Your chickens will have tons of room to play in this 4 by 9 foot space. At night, they'll hop up on their very own removable roosting bar - who likes easy cleaning? When hens are ready to lay eggs, they'll find a comfy nesting box waiting just for them.
The best part? Your chickens can enjoy fresh air safely in their covered run, and you can collect eggs without disturbing them thanks to the special egg door on the outside.
Your new chicken home will arrive at your doorstep in just 2 weeks with free shipping!
