Give hens a real home with the Colonial Gable Coop, a panelized chicken coop kit from Little Cottage Co. built the same way as their full-size sheds and playhouses — pre-assembled, primed wall panels rather than raw lumber. Raised 12 inches off the ground on stilts, the coop keeps hens dry and predator-resistant while giving you easy access to the four nesting bins and a full-height man door for cleaning and daily care.

Like the rest of the Little Cottage Co. panelized line, the Colonial Gable Coop ships with siding and trim already fastened to the wall panels, so assembly is mostly a matter of standing and securing sections rather than building from scratch — a manageable weekend project for two people. Customers supply shingles, drip edge, and paint. Raised off the ground and sized for a small backyard flock, it’s a solid step up from a basic wire coop for anyone serious about keeping hens.
