Raising poultry requires dedicated infrastructure. The coop is not just shelter; it is the primary defense against predators and the critical factor in maintaining flock health.
The market is dominated by lightweight, imported kits made from thin wood composites and weak hardware. These coops often fail within a few seasons, offering inadequate protection against determined predators and lacking the ventilation necessary for a healthy environment.
Wunderbar Structures manufactures professional-grade chicken coops in Central Pennsylvania. We apply the principles of Amish construction to poultry housing, utilizing high-grade materials and intelligent design. Our coops are built to the same standards as our larger agricultural structures, offering a long-term solution for the serious homesteader or backyard poultry owner.
Stop replacing disposable coops. Invest in infrastructure that works.
A functional chicken coop must satisfy four fundamental requirements: Security, Health, Usability, and Durability.
The primary function of a coop is protection. Raccoons, weasels, foxes, and hawks are persistent and capable. A secure coop is non-negotiable.
Robust Construction: Flimsy materials can be chewed through or broken. We use heavy-duty lumber and siding to create a rigid enclosure.
Secure Hardware: We utilize sturdy, reliable locking mechanisms on all doors, ramps, and access points. Latches must be complex enough to deter intelligent predators like raccoons.
Reinforced Screening: Chicken wire keeps chickens in; it does not keep predators out. We use durable, tightly woven wire mesh (hardware cloth) over all windows and vents to prevent intrusion.
Tight Tolerances: Meticulous Amish construction ensures minimal gaps. We eliminate access points that predators can exploit.
Chickens are highly susceptible to respiratory issues caused by poor air quality. They produce significant amounts of moisture and ammonia. The environment must manage this buildup without exposing the flock to direct drafts.
Strategic Ventilation: Proper airflow is critical year-round. Our coops include integrated back vents and functional windows. This system allows ammonia and moist air to exhaust while preventing wind from blowing directly onto the roosts.
Weather Resistance: A dry coop is a healthy coop. We use high-quality roofing and siding materials to ensure the interior remains dry, preventing mold growth and maintaining healthy bedding conditions.
A coop must be efficient for the owner to manage. Difficult cleaning processes lead to neglect, which compromises flock health.
External Nesting Boxes: Designed for easy egg collection without entering the main coop area. This minimizes disturbance to the flock and keeps eggs cleaner.
Optimized Roosting Space: We include appropriately sized roosts, recognizing that chickens require adequate space to perch comfortably overnight.
Accessible Design: Doors and access points are positioned for convenient cleaning and maintenance of the interior.
A chicken coop is constantly exposed to moisture, animal waste, and the elements. We use materials selected for longevity in this demanding environment.
LP SmartSide Siding: We utilize LP SmartSide, an engineered wood product treated to resist rot, fungal decay, and termites. It is significantly more durable than the thin cedar or pine often used in retail kits. (Backed by a 50-year manufacturer warranty).
Lifetime Architectural Shingles: Our roofing provides superior weather protection and longevity, matching the quality of residential construction.
Robust Flooring and Base: The foundation of the coop is built to last, utilizing durable flooring materials capable of withstanding regular cleaning.
We offer a range of standard sizes designed to accommodate various flock sizes and space requirements. All Wunderbar coops are delivered fully assembled and ready for use.
Our standard configuration includes the essential components for a functional poultry habitat:
Exterior: LP SmartSide siding and Lifetime Architectural Shingles.
Nesting Boxes: Externally accessible, designed for easy collection.
Roosts: Integrated wooden roosting bars.
Access: Locking ramps/chicken doors and human access doors.
Ventilation: Back vents and functional windows secured with predator-proof mesh.
We manufacture efficient layouts proven to work effectively:
4x6 Coop
4x8 Coop
4x10 Coop
6x8 Coop
Note: Consult with our specialists to determine the appropriate coop size based on the number and breed of your chickens.
Customize your coop for enhanced functionality and easier maintenance.
Rubber Flooring (Highly Recommended): The single most effective upgrade for ease of maintenance. A seamless rubber floor protects the underlying wood structure from moisture and waste. It simplifies cleaning significantly—droppings and bedding can be easily swept or hosed out.
Integrated Runs: We can provide options for attached, secure runs to give your flock safe outdoor access.
Automatic Doors: Solar or battery-powered automatic doors can be installed to manage flock access based on time or light levels, ensuring security even if you are not present at dusk.
Color Selection: Customize the paint or stain and roofing color to match your property.
