Chicken coop FAQ

Although you can build yourself a chicken coop at a low cost, your coop will not be built with the same quality as if you bought it. You will save yourself time and hassle by buying your chicken coop.

With a chicken coop, it is best to buy it with cash, as most financing companies require additional paperwork for a chicken coop. Financing companies don’t like to repossess a dirty building so that is why it’s not worth the extra hassle with rent to own.

Chicken Coop sheds are one of the best investments you can make for your chickens. The Countryside Barns’ built in nesting boxes are super handy! Since the Chicken Coop is designed specifically for the chickens, you won’t have to worry about making any changes or modifications to the shed once it comes. You can just move your chickens and enjoy their wonderful new home.

Our LP SmartSide is the perfect solution for you! LP SmartSide is backed by a 50-year prorated, limited warranty on the substrate. For the finish, the Sherwin-Williams paint which has a limited lifetime warranty is the best option.

The number of chickens in your coop depends on the size of the chicken coop. In a 7×8 coop, you can hold around 5-20 chickens, a 9×8 coop can hold around 15-25 chickens, and an 11×8 coop can hold around 25-35 chickens.

A chicken coop needs windows for ventilation and light!

There are a number of reasons why it is beneficial to elevate the prefab chicken coop. Several would include protection from predators, helping with ventilation, allowing easier clean-up, easier portability, and making egg collection simpler.

When you buy from Countryside Barns, you are buying a backyard chicken coop that will make for happy chickens, which will make delicious eggs, and delicious eggs will make it totally worth it!

Brian Koppenhoefer

I have two buildings from Countryside Barns on my property. The first one is a lofted garden shed purchased a delivered in 2016. The second is a garage purchased in 2023. The second was originally going to be a small 8’X12’ garden shed. Due to a variance requirement with the city, I was not able to place the small garden shed in the respectable place I selected on my property. Countryside Barns was understanding, I put a halt on the order 6 days after placing it. Thank you, Jessica! I selected a new location on my property and was able to go bigger 14’X32’. I also decided to go with a portable garage vs a garden shed. With a copy of the approved permit and my down payment I signed the contract. With both buildings I have had a few issues but they were taken care of. EDIT: Photos are from months later, they did not install rock, landscaping, gutters, concrete, or electrical.

Brian Sparks

These guys were great. Communication was top notch from start to finish. They responded very fast when I had any questions. The price is perfect for their quailty.. And above all their Mule thing they use to move the sheds is a event in itsekf. Great company and great people. 👍

Would highly recommend Countryside Barns. The sheds are high quality and Brian was very professional in the sale of our shed and Ernie was also very professional in the installation of our shed.

Jesse & Erin Rieker

Great to work with! We love our shed!

John Streit

Highly recommended. Our new shed fits nicely with our renovated space and looks great. The design process was easy and ended up being just what we wanted. I appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail, and we are sure to get many years of use out of it. It’s great to work with local businesses.

Darcy Newell

Both the product and the installation process exceeded all expectations! Everything was done exactly when they said it would be, and the quality of construction is exceptional. Patrick made the delivery and checked leveling very carefully and even took the time to add a couple bumpers to the door and touch up paint on the base or at a tiny scratch from installation. This shed is certainly built to last!

Marco

I had the pleasure of working with Brian, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome of my experience! From the design of our shed to the seamless delivery, everything exceeded my expectations!
