Large 8x10 Chicken Coop - 30 to 40 chickens.
“I was debating between the “Plain Jane” and the “Mansion”… and decided on the “Mansion”. It met more of my needs and my wife liked the way it looked. Half of our birds are guineas which are free range. That’s why I upgraded to get the Dusk-to-Dawn door so I didn’t have to worry about rounding them up every night. The other half are Rhode Island Reds which will scratch up my wife’s flower beds- so I keep them in the run. The birds are separated inside the coop with a wire partition. There’s also a chicken door that I can open up to let the chickens go back and forth if I want. Thanks to Horizon Structures, I was able to customize to get exactly what I wanted!” Dave S. from Altoona , PA

If you’ve studied the details of the pictures of this big chicken coop you may have noticed some things that you haven’t seen on any of the other chicken coops for sale on our web site.
That’s because we’ve taken this backyard chicken coop to the extreme and added practically every chicken coop and run option we offer. A true backyard chicken enthusiast will easily recognize the convenience and practicality of all these coop upgrades. This is the personal chicken coop of Horizon Structures’ owner, Dave Zook. And below is his story…
Dave's Dilemma
“I wanted to keep both chickens and guineas. Each type of bird had different needs…”
“Because I live out in the country and my property is surrounded by fields and wooded areas, I purchased the guinea hens primarily for “pest control”.
I wanted to be able to let them free-range on my property and return to the safety of the chicken coop at night.
Their job is to eat all the bugs, ticks and weed seeds around my home and garden without tearing up the flower beds.” “We got the chickens mainly for the eggs.
Again, living on a rural property has it’s challenges. I knew our birds would be vunerable to foxes, racoons and hawks.
Predators were one reason I wanted a chicken run. The other reason? If given the chance, those birds can do alot of damage to a flower bed!”
