Chicken Coop on Wheels (Portable Chicken Tractor)

Originally Uploaded by Artisan Designs

Here's a great innovative, portable coop on wheels. A coop like this is also known as a Chicken Tractor as it can be moved around the yard to allow chickens to graze. This is the perfect size for a small flock of backyard or urban chickens. The design looks sturdy and weather proof and I am sure there are some great, little nesting boxes inside.

Long, Compartmentalized Coop on Wheels

Originally Uploaded by cansado
Now, this is some chicken coop! First, it's on wheels, so it also works as a mobile coop or chicken tractor, which allows for varied grazing. Secondly, it has "compartments" to keep the birds separate, for instance if you have a troublesome or aggressive rooster. It also has an enclosed area, which I assume contains nesting boxes. I'm not sure if the top of the coop wiring is covered or not, but during stormy weather it would certainly be easy to throw a tarp over it. This is a fantastic, sturdy design and solves a lot of problems in terms of mobility and being able to isolate certain birds. Love this!

A Blue Coop That's Going Places

Originally Uploaded by Scott Fraser

Love this mobile chicken coop! Looks like bicycle tires were used and the slanted roof, little house shape is charming. This coop seems sturdy and is raised off the ground and is enclosed in a fenced chicken yard, so it looks very predator-proof. How great to be able to move the coop around (a chicken tractor). Auntie gives an A+ for creativity/convenience on this coop!

Simple Rectangular Backyard Coop

Originally Uploaded by kim77_au

Aside from its straightforward and efficient design, this coop looks like it could easily be portable and mobile, thus becoming a chicken tractor that can me moved around the yard for convenient grazing. The fencing material on this coop looks sturdier than regular chicken wire and the nesting boxes are snug and protected in the back of the coop. A good size for these three hens!

Long and Narrow Chicken Coop with Gutter

Originally Uploaded by benishs
What a great design! This tall, wooden coop is a fantastic example of working with the space that you have--it looks like this coop was built between house and garage. I love the slanted roof and the addition of the gutter for rain. The height is very people friendly and the raised nesting box is space efficient as well. This is a good sized coop for a backyard and I imagine it can comfortably house quite a few hens. Great job!

Cute Coop with Landscape and Moon Painted Window

Originally Uploaded by Craig & Amy
This is a cute coop! Great design for a small number of chickens. Not only does the coop itself look predator proof, but the little yard is covered, which is great in the rain or the hot sun. The painted window adds a unique touch, making it look like a one room cabin.

Bluish-Gray A-Frame Chicken Coop

Originally Uploaded by birdie pictures
This cool A-Frame is a fantastic use of space, especially for the small backyard flock enthusiast. Not only is the color great, but the design is very efficient. The nesting boxes are raised, allowing for room beneath and it also looks like there are a variety of doors, ventilation holes, and windows that lock and open. The birds have plenty of room and the structure looks predator-proof. It also looks like it will do well in stormy weather, giving the chickens plenty of protection. A+ for both design and color!

Tall Coop with Metal Roof

Originally Uploaded by Urban Hennery

This is a great example of a "high rise" coop. I love the metal roof, which will work well in stormy weather and will also provide shade. It's great how the nesting box is raised, allowing for more room beneath. Also, the tall structure provides good human headroom and the solid wood frame around the bottom will act as a barrier to potential predators, who might otherwise be able to tunnel or rip the fencing out of the ground. Note the great egg-door on the side of the nesting box. Impressive design!

Triangular (Triangle) Coop

Originally Uploaded by Chicken Wing Party of Manitoba
This little coop is a great space saver for a small backyard flock. The triangular design is great because it allows for plenty of chicken headroom. It also looks light enough to be mobile, like a chicken tractor, which allows for fresh grazing. The A-frame style of the coop itself is really quite charming!

This small white coop is perfect for a backyard with limited space. It is just the right size to house a few chickens, who will, no doubt, find all of the straw bedding comfortable. This coop is simple, but efficient.

Tall Red Coop with Run (Seattle)

Originally Uploaded by ronbo
Great, tall chicken coop with fenced run, complete with window flower boxes. It's convenient to have a coop this tall, as you can enter it comfortably to collect eggs and clean. Sign on the door says, "Ladies".

Little Red Chicken Coop with Run

Originally Uploaded by aehack
This is the perfect size for a few chickens in the backyard. The builder was wise to raise the coop and run off of the ground. It also looks very sturdy and predator resistant.

Chicken Coop Built from Salvaged Wood

Originally Uploaded by Dirk Bruin
This fantastic chicken coop was built from wood found on the beach. Great example of recycling! Note that it is raised off of the ground, which is a good way to keep dampness and pests out.
