The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a large and round short-winged bird, domesticated from the red junglefowl of Southeast Asia around 8,000 years ago. Most chickens are raised for food, providing meat and eggs; others are kept as pets or for cockfighting.
Chickens are common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 26.5 billion as of 2023, and an annual production of more than 50 billion birds. A hen bred for laying can produce over 300 eggs per year. There are numerous cultural references to chickens in folklore, religion, and literature.
Coop or Co-op most often refer to:
- Chicken coop or other animal enclosure
- Cooperative or co-operative ("co-op"), an association co-operating for mutual social, economic or cultural benefit
- Consumers' co-operative
- Food cooperative
- Housing cooperative (as in "a co-op apartment")
- Worker cooperative
- Cooperative board game
- Cooperative video game
- Prison, in slang
Coop, COOP or Co-op may also refer to:
Pride is a human secondary emotion characterized by a sense of satisfaction with one's identity, performance, or accomplishments. It is often considered the opposite of shame or of humility, and, depending on context, may be viewed as either virtue or vice. Pride may refer to a content sense of attachment toward one's own or another's choices and actions, or one's belonging to a group of people. Typically, it is a product of praise, independent self-reflection and a fulfilled feeling of belonging. Other possible objects of pride are one's ethnicity and one's sexual identity (for example, LGBTQ pride). It may also refer to foolhardiness or a corrupt, irrational sense of one's personal value, status, or accomplishments and in this sense can be used synonymously with hubris or vanity.
While some philosophers such as Aristotle (and George Bernard Shaw) consider pride (but not hubris) a profound virtue, some world religions consider pride as a form of sin, as stated in Proverbs 11:2 of the Hebrew Bible. In Judaism, pride is called the root of all evil. In Catholicism, it is one of the seven deadly sins. When viewed as a virtue, pride in one's abilities is known as virtuous pride, greatness of soul, or magnanimity, but when viewed as a vice, it is often known to be self-idolatry, sadistic contempt or vainglory.

The chicken coop I purchased at TS has worked out great.
by James
Easy to assemble with simple directions. Overall sturdy construction with weather-tight joints to reduce drafts in winter.
by Steve
This coop is very nice. We got it for 4 Red Sex Link hens, it was perfect for them. We did cut in some ventilation on each side near the roof ridge. We also have an attached run.
by Puggie
the advertising image is a bit deceiving and it is much smaller than it appears… but overall… it is perfect for at least one purpose… i have a bantam breed and i typically only keep 5 or 6 birds… this accommodates them quite well.
by Charlie
Very nice appearance. Easy to assemble, a little smaller than what I had imagined. Notes that accommodates six chickens but probably more like three.
by Steve
Finished product is great! Love all the access doors. Cleaning it is easy. Assembly was a little difficult. Directions need to be tweaked.
by Lawson
We love this chicken coop kit! Super easy to put together and saves me from making something look like I gave up halfway through.
by Carrie
This is a sturdy, well-built chicken coop. My husband and I do plan to expand the run so that our chickens have more room. My only complaint is that the door latches are a little awkward. Certainly not a deal breaker, but I feel the design could be improved.
by Kelly
It was easy to build. Some pieces are very flimsy. It is a good size. We have 4 chickens and it is perfect.
by Farn
Strong construction but it does show a good bit of sunlight from the inside. Which is fine for ventilation but it also leaks a bit. I’ve had to cover it during rains.
by Luv
Made well. Wish I would’ve purchased already assembled took over hour and a half to assemble. My chickens love it. I think it would be packed with the number of chickens it said it would hold. I have 2 cochans.
by Klassy
Better for 3 adult hens. Extremely heavy and needs a tarp to keep it dry in wind, rain, snow. Solid and has held up well even through an extreme wind event which flipped it on its side. Hard for 2 Senior citizens to move. We plan to build a 3 foot solid deck-like base with a second ladder and chicken wire around that, plus a more sturdy tarp on 3 sides next winter.

Only ran into 2 issues. Instructions were clear with nice diagrams. I was able to put most of it together without help. Only needed an extra pair of hands for a few minutes. One issue I had, adding the panel above the nest box on the back side of the coop, the diagram didn’t show where the hinges were supposed to be, so I accidentally put that piece upside down. Easy enough to remove and put back correctly, so no big, just something to be aware of. (Look to the diagram a couple of pages later, the hinges actually show in the diagram.) The other, the “self-tapping” screws required pre-drilling, but the instructions don’t say so. I guess they assume people know that already. I found the best drill bit for the larger screws was 3/32″. For the small screws, a 5/64″ drill bit for pre-drilling was sufficient. In both cases, the screws ended up fitting snugly. Having that information in the instructions would’ve been helpful. Other than those 2 things with the instructions, this coop went together easily and mostly a one-person job. I’d definitely recommend it! If I ever need another one for a separate group of chickens, I won’t hesitate to buy another one of these.
