Collection: Chicken coops with runs
House and yard in one build. Room to roost at night and range all day, for flocks from a pair to fifteen.
Featured product
Not sure which one?
Three questions: flock size, yard space, how often you plan to move it.
A chicken coop with a run gives you the house and the fenced outdoor space in one delivery, so the flock has somewhere to scratch without you fencing a paddock first. Ours run from a $269 steel-framed 85-inch coop for 6–8 hens up to a 137-inch XL for 10–15, and several of them roll.
On every page we publish the run dimensions the manufacturer states. Where they state house and run square footage separately we show the capacity arithmetic underneath, so you can check the hen count rather than trust it.
How much run does a flock need?
The common rule of thumb is 8–10 sq ft of run per standard hen, on top of 4 sq ft of coop.
It's a rule, not a law. Hens that free-range in the yard all day need far less enclosed space than hens that live in the run full time. Decide which of those you're doing before you pick a size, because it changes the answer by about half.
Two numbers to check on any coop-with-run listing, ours included
- How much of the run is actually covered. On the PawHut walk-in enclosure the cover is 11 × 6.2 ft over a 286 sq ft footprint, so roughly a quarter is under fabric and the rest is open sky.
- Whether the manufacturer splits the square footage. The 95.3" portable does: 13.2 sq ft upstairs, 20.8 sq ft of run below. That is why it's the easiest coop in our catalogue to size honestly.
On predator hardware
We list the hardware each manufacturer states: mesh type, latch type, lock count, frame material.
We don't say predator-proof, because no coop is, and most of these listings don't publish wire gauge or mesh aperture, the two numbers that would actually mean something. Where they're missing, the spec table says so.
