Tilly's Nest Chicken Coop
This unique coop was designed by blogger and author Melissa Caughey. It was inspired by – and named for – a little black Australorp chick that Melissa received through the mail when she decided to expand her flock. “Tilly” soon become Melissa’s favorite and also the “head hen” within her flock.
As the “Tilly’s Nest” coop began to receive favorable attention through Pinterest, Melissa’s blog and other social media outlets, folks began asking where they could get a coop just like it for their chickens. That’s when Melissa began her search for a company that could replicate her coop for the public without compromising the carefully conceived design and quality she built into the original.

Take a Look Inside our Chicken Coop...
We’ve faithfully reproduced Melissa Caughey’s original design and added a few extras. These “upgrades” have been extremely popular on our other coop models and we’re delighted to include them as ‘Standard Features’ on Tilly’s Nest to make this lovely coop as complete as possible.
True to the original design, (2) 27″ w x 12″ h jalousie windows on the ‘bump out’ and (2) 18″ h x 27″ w windows on the opposite wall allow natural sunlight to brighten the coop interior. Step inside the coop to open the windows and welcome in the fresh air. We include vinyl coated mesh on all the windows to keep predators at bay.
Chicken Coop Exterior Features
Whether you free-range your chickens or not, a chicken run is something everyone can use. Staying true to Melissa’s vision, we’ve included a run with our Tilly’s Nest model. The 6×12 run comes with a wire mesh top panel and requires some assembly. Or, choose a run with a shingled roof to match your coop – exactly like Melissa’s original design. *Roofed runs come fully assembled and ready for immediate use – just like the coop! (extra shipping charges will apply)
When Melissa Caughey asked us to reproduce Tilly’s Nest coop it was easy to say “Yes!” In addition to her charming and completely unique coop design, Melissa possesses an uncompromising passion for quality in both materials and workmanship – just like Horizon Structures. Chicken comfort and safety are other important factors we both believe in.
Working closely with Melissa, we recreated the Tilly’s Nest coop that was true to her vision. When she visited our shop to preview the new coop, her delight and approval was instantly obvious. She remarked with enthusiasm that it was almost surreal seeing her coop outside it’s normal setting at her home and that it was, virtually, impossible to detect any difference between her coop and the prefab chicken house we faithfully reproduced for sale to the general public.
*Our coops are solidly built with a number of design elements and features meant to deter predators. However, we do not assert that they are ‘predator proof.’ We recommend learning all you can about predators in your area and taking every precaution possible to protect your hens both inside the coop and outside, if applicable, in their chicken run.

Our trailers range from 24′ – 48′ in size giving us to flexibility to transport several pre-built buildings together or a single building up to 60′ long.

What is a "Man Door"?
A “Man Door” is a large door on coops that is able to fit a person inside the coop. This allows for easy cleaning and interactions with your chickens.
The door comes with a twist handle and key.
