Coops that move to fresh grass

Dimensions, capacity and what the move involves — as the maker states them.

Every coop clears the same six checks.

Why the coop moves

Hens strip a patch of ground fast — scratching, dust-bathing and grazing take it down to bare soil in a matter of weeks. Move the coop on and that patch gets the time it needs to come back. Drag the handle to see it.

What to check before you buy

Three things worth looking for on any coop — including the numbers most listings leave out.

Shop coops on wheels
Mobile chicken coop with run, nesting box and wheels on a lawn

Wire gauge and mesh aperture

The two numbers that decide how secure a run really is. Ask us and we’ll confirm them on any coop.

Run area, not just length

A long coop is not a big coop. Ask what the run measures once the sleeping box is subtracted.

Wheels on one end only

Two or four wheels means you lift the far end to move it. Check the wheeled end before you buy.

Move the coop, not the flock

Wheels and a handle mean fresh grass every week without rebuilding anything.

A large flock spread across a backyard lawn

From two hens to ten

Capacity worked out from the real floor and run area, not a number on a box.

Fresh eggs, less mud

Pull-out trays, hinged nest lids, and honest capacity math on every listing.

Coops chosen one at a time

Moveable Chicken Coop started with coops on wheels and still leads with them. Now we outfit the whole yard: chicken tractors, walk-in coops, and houses that stay put. Every coop clears the same six checks, and we publish the figures its maker states — where one is missing, ask and we'll get it from them before you order.

Quick answers

What is a mobile chicken coop?

A mobile chicken coop is a henhouse on wheels or skids that you relocate so your flock always has fresh grass. Moving the coop spreads manure naturally and keeps any one patch of lawn from wearing out.

How many hens fit in your coops?

It depends on the model, and on arithmetic rather than the number on the carton: roughly 4 sq ft of coop floor per hen, plus 8-10 sq ft of run. Each listing carries the capacity and dimensions its manufacturer states, and our own sizing where the two differ. Where a figure is missing, ask us and we'll get it before you order.

Do your coops arrive assembled?

Assume a build. Flat-packed cartons are the norm in this category: where the manufacturer states how a coop ships, the listing says so, and where they don't, ask us before you order and we'll get it confirmed. Most builds need two people and basic tools.

How do I move a wheeled coop?

Smaller models move like a wheelbarrow: lift the handle end and roll. Larger models have four wheels and tow handles. Each wheeled product lists wheel details in its Mobility Spec block.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver across the continental United States. Delivery windows are confirmed by email within one business day of your order.
