Comfortable & Secure Chicken Coops In Oregon

Chicken coop prices in Oregon typically range from $2,500–$3,500 for smaller 6×8 models and up to $4,000–$5,500 for larger 8×16 coops. Each includes standard features such as a barn door, windows, nesting boxes, and a chicken door. Upgrades like electrical, extra windows, or flooring cost more. Oregon Backyard Buildings also offers rent-to-own plans, making backyard chicken keeping more affordable without a large upfront payment.

Allow roughly 3–4 square feet per chicken inside the coop. A 6×8 model fits 12–16 birds, 8×8 fits 16–21, 8×12 holds 24–32, and 8×16 accommodates 32–42. Giving chickens extra room reduces stress and feather picking. Remember they also need a secure outdoor run or fenced area for exercise and foraging.

Every Old Hickory chicken coop comes fully equipped with a 3-foot barn door for human access, two screened windows for light and airflow, a roosting ladder, raised nesting boxes with exterior egg-collection access, and a small chicken door for outdoor access. These features create a safe, comfortable environment for your flock right from delivery.

Old Hickory coops are built with solid wood construction and secure doors, offering strong predator protection. For full safety from raccoons, coyotes, hawks, or owls, we recommend adding hardware cloth over windows and vents, burying mesh around the perimeter, and using locking latches. The sturdy, raised design provides excellent defense against common Oregon predators.

Coops are available in five sizes: 6×8, 6×12, 8×8, 8×12, and 8×16 feet. The 6-foot width fits small yards or flocks, while 8-foot widths give more space and height. Each size includes standard roosting and nesting features, adjusted proportionally to flock capacity.

Coops can sit on level ground but perform best on a foundation. Good options include concrete slabs, gravel pads, or treated wood skids. Raised floors improve drainage and deter rodents and predators. If placed directly on soil, add buried wire mesh to stop digging animals. Always choose a level, well-drained location.

Oregon’s winters are mild, but preparation helps. Add extra bedding for insulation, close windows during storms, and block drafts while keeping ventilation open to prevent moisture buildup. Heated waterers prevent freezing, and most flocks tolerate cold better than dampness. Proper airflow is more important than heat—ventilation keeps chickens healthy year-round.

Yes. Electrical packages are available for lighting, heated waterers, and automatic doors. Many owners install solar-powered lights as an off-grid option. For wired power, a licensed electrician must connect it safely to your home supply. Plan electrical rough-ins during ordering if you think you’ll need power later.

Permit rules differ by city and county. Portland, Eugene, Salem, and Bend have specific chicken-keeping ordinances and square-footage limits. Most rural areas are more flexible. Always confirm zoning, number-of-bird limits, and property-line setbacks with your local building department before installing your coop.

Yes — free delivery and setup are included within Oregon Backyard Buildings’ standard service area. Coops arrive fully assembled, complete with nesting boxes, roosts, and doors. Delivery typically takes 2–4 hours, and the crew positions your coop exactly where you want it. Additional fees may apply for remote or hard-to-access locations.
