Chicken coop FAQ

The number of backyard chickens you can keep in Illinois depends on your local city, village, or county regulations. Some communities limit the number of hens based on property size, while others have different restrictions or may not allow backyard chickens in certain residential areas. Before choosing a chicken coop, check your local ordinances to determine how many chickens are permitted on your property.

Permit and approval requirements vary by municipality. Depending on where you live, you may need a permit or license to keep chickens, approval for your coop, or a building permit for the structure itself. Contact your local zoning or planning office before purchasing or installing a chicken coop.

Local zoning regulations may specify where a chicken coop can be placed, including required distances from property lines, neighboring homes, streets, or other structures. Some communities also require coops to be located in the backyard. Check your local zoning requirements before selecting a location for your coop.

Rooster regulations vary by location. Many Illinois communities that allow backyard hens restrict or prohibit roosters, often because of local noise or nuisance ordinances. Check your municipality’s rules before adding a rooster to your flock.

A chicken coop in Illinois should provide protection throughout changing Midwest weather conditions. During winter, good ventilation is important for reducing moisture and ammonia while keeping the coop protected from drafts. Chicken owners should also plan for reliable access to unfrozen water during cold weather.

The amount of space you need depends on the size of your flock and any local requirements. Some Illinois communities may have rules related to coop size, lot size, or the number of chickens allowed. Plan for enough indoor and outdoor space for your flock while checking your local ordinances before choosing a coop.

Requirements vary by community, but some Illinois municipalities require chickens to be kept in a secure coop, run, or fenced area rather than roaming freely. Even where it isn’t required, a secure enclosure can help protect your flock and keep chickens contained on your property.

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.

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. 👍

Carol Lucas

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!
