Urban Northern Coops

Founded in 2014 in Washington, Urban Northern Coops operates as an e-commerce provider offering chicken coops and poultry-keeping products designed for backyard and small-scale urban homesteaders and farmers. The organization focuses on providing housing solutions and related equipment that support individuals who raise chickens in residential environments. Its products are sold throughout the United States through an online platform that makes poultry housing and supplies accessible to a broad customer base.

Backyard poultry keeping has become more common as households look for ways to produce fresh eggs and better understand where their food comes from. The company recognizes that raising chickens can contribute to sustainability while also helping families manage grocery expenses. Many people also value the experience because caring for chickens can teach children responsibility and the basics of animal care.

When chicks grow into mature birds, appropriate housing becomes an essential part of maintaining a healthy flock. It emphasizes the importance of providing a secure, well-ventilated coop that protects chickens from predators and environmental hazards. Adequate interior space allows birds to roost, nest, and move comfortably, which supports egg production and overall flock health.

Urban Northern Coops began developing its own coop models after its founders had difficulty finding suitable housing for their chickens. During their search, they discovered that many available coops required an investment of more than 1,000 dollars. Constructing a coop independently would have required considerable time and effort. Urban Northern Coops introduced designs intended to simplify the process of establishing dependable housing for backyard poultry keepers.

Its product designs were refined through testing to support practical flock management. Many models include vented windows to improve airflow and slide-out trays to make cleaning easier. Galvanized hardware cloth is also incorporated into the structures to help protect birds while maintaining ventilation within the coop.

The company builds its coops using fir wood, a material selected for durability across different climates. Each structure is treated with an animal-safe water-based stain that helps protect the wood while remaining suitable for poultry environments. Some models also include a sheltered indoor house connected to an enclosed outdoor run, allowing chickens to move freely between indoor and outdoor areas.

Customers can choose from a range of poultry housing options and related equipment. Its product selection includes The Bungalow Chicken Coop, Resort Chicken Coop and Run, The Lodge Coop, FarmHouse Chicken Coop, Homestead House and Run, Metal Cottage Coop, KONA Coop for 6 to 8 hens, Resort Run Only, Homestead Run Only, and Large Chicken Coop Plans, which provide a guide rather than a physical structure.

Urban Northern Coops also provides feeders, waterers, and accessories intended to support daily poultry care. Available products include the Chicken Feeder and Waterer Set with 3 Gallon and 26 lb capacity, the Black Chicken Feeder Planter, and a 12 Pack Chicken Waterer Cups. Additional equipment includes the Automatic Chicken Coop Door with Intelligent Timer and Aluminum Opener, the Cozy Coop Chicken Coop Heater rated at 200 Watt, and Fresh Flakes Coop Bedding made from pine shavings.

Since opening its doors, it reports serving more than 10,000 customers across the United States. Customer feedback often highlights straightforward assembly and helpful communication. Reviews describe experiences with products such as the New Metal Coop, where one customer reported that 6 Olive Eggers were housed comfortably and were laying eggs in the nesting box while receiving supervised free-range time for 1 to 2 hours each day.

Urban Northern Coops continues to receive feedback from customers who have purchased other coop models. One customer reviewing the Resort Coop noted that the structure was fairly easy to assemble, thanks to pre-drilled holes and guides, and that it felt sturdy once completed. Another customer who selected the Lodge Coop after extensive research reported quick shipping, responsive communication, and an assembly process that a beginner could complete. According to the review, chicks hatched at the end of April adapted well to the coop and benefited from the ability to move the structure around the yard to access fresh grass periodically.
