Lightfoot Hobbit Hole Chicken Coop

This Hobbit Hole chicken coop not only looks great, it has all the great design features you'd expect in a top of the line chicken coop, and then some.  The Lightfoot coop measures 62" x 35" x 45"H.  We recommend it for up to four standard breed chickens or up to six bantams.  *NOTE: Most companies selling coops will use an "industry standard" of 2 square feet per bird on their housing recommendation.  The spacing recommendations we give are based on 4 square feet per bird (based on standard breed size), which is what we personally adhere to with our own chickens.

The low-to-the ground entry makes this design a great option as a duck house as well.   When you select the "Make it a Duck House!" option, we'll eliminate the perch and nesting box and include a duck-friendly ramp for the pop door.

The coop comes with a total of 4' of perch space on a moveable perch that is 10 inches off the ground and a single nest box.  The back wall has an inset "pop" (chicken) door so you can allow your birds free access to the coop during the day if desired.

 Chickens a chore no more

Enjoy life with chickens even more with our well designed coops.  A large rear clean out door gives easy access to the coop interior.  Our removable and re-positionable roosting bar and nest box can easily be removed from the coop for a thorough cleaning, and they're out of the way when you want to clean the rest of the coop.

Choose our optional removable floor liner to clean your coop in a fraction of the normal time without ever getting on your hands and knees.  A handle on either side of the vinyl floor liner lets you simply fold the litter covered liner toward the center of the coop and slide it out the back door to empty into a waiting wheelbarrow.  Clean/sanitize the liner, and replace.  The heavy duty 40 mil vinyl material will hold up to just about anything you can put it through.

 Keep your flock safe

Heavy duty gate latches keep the front and back doors of the coop securely closed from prying predators.  Each window opening in your coop is covered with predator proof 1/2" x 1/2" square galvanized steel hardware cloth, and the windows can be latched securely closed when not in use with the installed hook and eye latch. 

Comfort in any season or climate

Maintaining healthy air quality is as important for chickens as it is for people.  The Lightfoot coop has a functional window on both the front and back walls to help you maintain healthy temperature and humidity levels in your coop. The window opening is covered in 1/2" galvanized steel hardware cloth to keep unwanted visitors out.  Windows can be latched securely closed when not in use.  

The coop kit comes standard with solid v-match pine roof decking and "live edge" cedar clapboard roofing, with a waterproof underlayment, edge flashing tape, a cedar ridge cap, a screw layout jig, and stainless steel screws. 

For chicken keepers in northern climates we recommend protecting your flock from extreme temperatures on cold winter nights with our optional floor insulation.

Quality Construction; Made in Maine, USA

We take great pride in our unique and functional designs, and we wouldn't dream of ruining them with inferior quality products or shoddy craftsmanship.  From top to bottom, our coops are built to last.  You wont have to deal with rotting wood that compromises the integrity of the coop and the safety of your flock, and your animals will feel protected and stay dry even in the worst weather.

• The base of the coop is framed with pressure treated lumber that will not rot even in direct contact with the ground.  
• The coop floor is sheathed in premium grade Advantech brand subflooring. 
• The curved rafters that create our signature "Hobbit Hole" roof design are made with multiple layers of plywood laminated with a high quality non-toxic wood glue that are then bent on our custom glue press.  
• Curved fascias are made of laminated strips of Eastern White Cedar.
• Coop walls, trim and roof deck are all constructed of solid Northern White Pine sustainably harvested from the forests of Maine and the Canadian Maritimes.   
• The Eastern White Cedar clapboards used to make our roofing is custom sawn at a local sawmill and further processed by hand at our workshop.  
• We use only high quality exterior grade hardware and fasteners, including stainless steel fasteners used in the roofing installation, preventing unsightly streaks down the side of your beautiful roof due to corroding metal.  
• We source our materials from local, independently owned businesses whenever possible to support our friends, neighbors, and rural economy.

What to expect when you order one of our coops 

We will build your coop in our workshop in central Maine where the focus is on quality rather than quantity.  Our coops typically ship in 2-4 weeks, but lead times can be as much as 8 weeks on orders placed during the busiest months of the year (April and May).  If your order is time sensitive, please contact us prior to placing your order for a current lead time.  We will notify you when your coop has shipped and provide you with assembly instructions (if needed) before the coop arrives.

The Lightfoot coop ships as a ready-to-assemble kit with pre-built wall and floor panels, and with hardware and instructions needed for assembly.

Your order will be delivered by appointment by a third party common carrier and unloaded "curbside" using a lift gate.  The crated coop weighs approximately 250 pounds.

All wood will arrive untreated and requires treatment with a wood sealing product either before assembly or as soon as possible after assembly, whether an exterior paint or stain, or a clear coat sealant.

You will receive top notch customer service from the same people who design and build the product, Rocy and Melissa Pillsbury.
