Urban Northern Coops Male • United States of America

Urban Northern Coops is a Washington-based e-commerce company founded in 2014 that specializes in chicken coops and poultry-keeping supplies designed for backyard chicken keepers and small-scale urban homesteaders. The company distributes its products nationwide, helping individuals and families create suitable living spaces for their chickens.

Backyard poultry keeping has grown significantly in recent years as more people recognize the benefits of raising chickens at home. Many households value the opportunity to collect fresh eggs, practice sustainable living, and gain a closer understanding of where their food comes from. Keeping chickens can also help reduce grocery expenses while providing a consistent supply of farm-fresh eggs. For some families, chickens also become cherished animals that help teach children responsibility and compassion through daily care.

The idea for Urban Northern Coops began when the founders started raising their own chicks and quickly realized how quickly they grow into full-sized chickens that require proper housing. A coop must provide protection, ventilation, and enough space for chickens to rest, nest, and move around comfortably. Adequate space and proper design are important for maintaining flock health and supporting egg production, while overcrowding can cause stress and lead to feather pecking or reduced egg production.

When searching for suitable housing, the founders discovered that many available coops were priced at over $1,000. Building one from scratch would require considerable time and effort, so they began designing their own coop models to simplify the process. Their goal was to create practical, accessible options that meet the needs of backyard flocks without requiring customers to spend weeks building a coop or investing in expensive custom structures.

After testing and refining their designs, Urban Northern Coops introduced models that incorporate features intended to make maintenance easier and improve durability. Their coops include vented windows for airflow, slide-out trays that simplify cleaning, and galvanized hardware cloth. Each structure is built from fir, which performs well in different climates, and is finished with an animal-safe, water-based stain. Some models also feature a spacious inner coop paired with a fenced area where chickens can move up and down a small ramp.

Urban Northern Coops offers a range of products related to poultry keeping, including chicken coops, runs, feeders, waterers, and various accessories. Since its founding, the company has served more than 10,000 customers, many of whom have shared positive feedback about product quality, straightforward assembly, and responsive customer service. Through its products and support, Urban Northern Coops continues to provide practical housing solutions for backyard chicken keepers across the country.
