Chicken Coop Delivery

How Ordering and Delivery Works

When you order your chicken coop by phone or online, this is what happens:

1. Your order form, delivery form and invoice are created.
2. Payment is taken.
3. A copy of your invoice and order are emailed to you. (Please let us know about any corrections or changes within 48 hours. (We have a no changes / no cancellation policy after 48 hours of your order date so please email us right away if you have a request.)
4. Your coop is scheduled for production.
5. Within 10 business days, or about 3 to 4 weeks - depending on your coop model, the coop will be built. It will be loaded onto the next truck heading to your way based on the delivery schedule on this page.
6. A few days prior to your delivery you will receive a call from your delivery person.

How are Chicken Coops Shipped and Delivered?

Our chicken coops are given the white glove treatment for delivery service.  We do not use major carriers or crate our coops. Unfortunately even though freight shipping is faster and can be more economical, we have not found it to be better. Many coops shipped with major carriers arrive damaged. Our tried-and-true method for delivery of undamaged coops and happy customers is to ship your coop on an open air trailer or for long distance sometimes in an enclosed trailer with drivers who are familiar with residential delivery of fully pre-built chicken coops.

A question a lot of customers ask is, can the chicken coops be lifted over a wall or gate. No. Our coops are built like small houses, super sturdy but also heavy. Chicken coops are many hundreds to thousands of pounds and cannot be lifted over walls or gates or up or down steps. The opening into your yard must be the width of your chicken coop plus at least two inches. Please carefully check the specification for the dimension of you coop as most coops are wider than their name indicates in order to accommodate roof overhangs and nesting boxes. We are happy to create a narrower coop for you if that is required.

There are certain things that you need to know to make your chicken coop delivery and placement go smoothly.

If possible, the driver will drive his truck with the trailer into your yard and slide the coop right off the trailer and into place. It is poetry in motion. In order for that to happen, you must have a least an 8' wide opening and no walls, gates, steps or anything that wouldn't be possible to drive over. You also must have enough overhead clearance. If you do not have enough space or your yard or other features may be damaged by the truck and trailer, be sure to let us know.
