About The Big Barn Coop

The forever coop. Walk-in size, flagship build.

The Big Barn is the coop you buy when you're done dabbling. A full walk-in footprint with a double nesting box — stand upright inside, collect eggs without crouching. Room for 10-12 hens, so the flock you daydream about fits the coop you already own.

Every door carries a locking latch. Trays slide out for the weekly cleanup. And because it's Henstead, it flat-packs, tracks to your door, and assembles in one relaxed weekend afternoon with two people and a drill.

Specifications:
• Capacity: 10-12 hens
• Materials: Solid cedar timber · galvanized welded mesh · asphalt shingle roof
• Features: Walk-in design · double nesting box · roosting bar run · pull-out trays · locking latches
• Assembled weight: ~154 lbs
• Ships: Flat-packed in multiple boxes, tracked
• Assembly: One afternoon · 2 people · 1 drill

From the flock

Loved by first-timers and old hands.

★★★★★

"We'd talked about getting chickens for three years. This took us from zero to fresh eggs in one weekend — assembly was genuinely one afternoon."

Sarah M.Franklin, Tennessee
★★★★★

"The wood smells incredible and it looks like garden furniture, not farm equipment. My 12-year-old helped build it start to finish."

Dan R.Bend, Oregon
★★★★★

"A raccoon tested the run the very first week. Everything held, hens didn't even wake up. That's when I knew we bought right."

Priya K.Burlington, Vermont

Good questions

Everything you're wondering.

How long does assembly really take?
One relaxed afternoon with two people and a drill. Every panel is pre-drilled and labeled, hardware is included, and the guide walks each step. Two hours, give or take a coffee.
How does shipping work?
Free, tracked US shipping, flat-packed in protective boxes. Dispatch is fast; you'll get tracking the moment your coop leaves, and a real delivery window — not a vague "2-6 weeks."
Is the wood safe for chickens?
Yes — solid cedar timber with no harsh chemical treatments, plus galvanized mesh and a weatherproof shingle roof. It weathers to a handsome gray over time, or seal it yearly to keep the honey tone.
How do I contact you?
Email us anytime at hensteadcoops@gmail.com — pre-sale questions, assembly help, spare parts, anything. A real human replies within 24 hours.
What if something arrives damaged?
Photo it, email us, and the replacement part ships free. Panels, latches, trays — we stock spares of everything, because freight happens.
Which coop should I pick?
Three to four hens and a smaller yard? The Cottage — the wheels are life-changing for fresh grass. Planning on six hens? The Homestead's two stories. Done dabbling and want the big one? The Big Barn — walk-in, 10-12 hens, no crawling ever.

About Henstead

Built by people who keep chickens.

Henstead started the way most flocks do — with four hens, a flimsy kit coop, and one very rude awakening involving a raccoon and a broken latch.

So we built the coops we couldn't find: real solid timber, welded mesh that holds, nesting boxes you reach from outside, and designs that look like they belong in your garden — not hidden behind it. Every coop is quality-checked, flat-packed, and shipped tracked from people who actually answer their email.

Eleven million households keep backyard chickens now. We're here for every one of them.
