The SnapLock Chicken Cook is easier to assemble than practically any other chicken coop on the market; each plastic panel snaps into place easily with no tools. Being that it’s plastic, it’s also easier to clean than many other models, as most of it can be hosed down.

In addition, it has three movable roosting bars and two removable trays underneath them, which help make it even easier to clean. The coop also has two nesting areas, each with two nesting spots.

This isn’t technically a chicken coop, but this metal mesh enclosure gives chickens a safe place to mill about and helps keep them from roaming too far. You can buy a larger enclosure if you need, but this one should provide enough space for 15 or more full-size chickens to happily roam in. It’s tall enough for adults to stand upright in and the door is lockable. The mesh will help keep most predators out during the day and the enclosed construction also makes it easy to round up your chickens at night.
