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.

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

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.
