Couldn’t be happier with our new Coop from Harmony Coops & Shelter. Ryan and his family were extremely helpful and awesome to work with. From design to delivery you can’t ask for a better coop, family, and company!

Questions we hear a lot

How big should my coop be?

Plan for 3–4 square feet per hen inside the henhouse and 8–10 square feet per hen in the run, about 1 foot of roost bar per bird, and one nesting box for every 3–4 hens. Bigger is better, especially in hot summers like Texas. Each coop page lists the flock size we recommend for it.

How long does it take to build my coop?

Every build is made to order. Most are ready in 2–3 weeks, depending on how many orders are ahead of yours. We'll give you a date when we confirm your order.

Can I change the colors, size or features?

Yes. Every design can be customized: siding, trim and roof colors, add-ons like an automatic door, and sizes from 6' x 10' up to 8' x 24' (and other sizes on request). Colors outside our usual range cost extra. Use Build Yours to put together your coop and send it to us for a quote.

Do you deliver, and what does it cost?

Yes. Delivery and setup are free within 40 miles of Waco, Texas or Benton, Arkansas. Past that, delivery is charged by the mile, depending on the size of your build, and the price comes with your quote. Most of our deliveries are within about 3 hours, and we can go farther. Enter your address on our Delivery page to see your miles.

How many chickens should I start with?

A good starter flock is 3 to 6 hens. Chickens are social and do better in groups. Plan on 3–4 square feet per hen inside the henhouse and 8–10 square feet per hen in the run.
