Round-Top Mobile Chicken Coop

Forget wheels... this is a much better way to do mobile!

The driving force behind the Mobile coop was portability without the difficulty and trouble of wheels. Many of our customers want the ability to “scoot” their coops around, or put them up in the garage or barn when nasty weather comes around. We also wanted to make a more affordable Round-Top Coop™ for those people who didn’t need more than 4 chickens or who wanted a truly kid-sized coop. Sassy, compact, cute, and crazy functional, the new Round-Top Mobile Chicken Coop is the perfect small coop for folks with smaller yards, wanting portability, or keeping fewer hens. It's smaller in size but big on quality and features.
		10+ year service life performance via cedar and heavy-duty 16 Gauge Galvanized Welded Wire Is Ultra Durable And Strong, Nothing Protects Your Hens Better.
		Sized for 4 hens max giving each hen over 4 Ft2 of run space and generous roost bar accommodations. Modular design allows for the coop to be added to overtime.
		Available Optional Integrated Waterer And Feeder Accessible From Outside The Coop. No-Poop 4+ day supply waterer that can be freeze protected. No-Poop 4+ day supply feeder.

We calculate hen population based on ~4 ft² per bird run space (free range by Gov’t standards) adequate roost bar space, egg box space, and quantity and number of feed and water units. You add extra space because you’re being extra generous on space, but our base model coops use an accepted space calculation.

Dimensions:	Yard Area: 48″W x 56″L x 21″H
	Roost Area: 16″W x 58″L x 16″H
	Overall: Height 37″ Length 64″ (with handles)
Weight:	Fully Assembled ~ 125 lbs.
	(weights given are for fully dry wood )
Chicken Capacity:	2- 4 Hens Base Model Coop (average size breeds)
	5 Bantam Breeds
	(We don’t recommend keeping one hen alone unless for isolation purposes. Even though adding an extension doubles the ground space, there is only enough roost bar, egg box, feed and water supply for 4 hens so we limit suggested population)
Shipping:	DIY Kits Delivered in 2 boxes by FedEx/UPS Home Delivery
	Box 1: 58x26x8
	Box 2: 39x37x8

Airflow in your coop is your biggest concern whether it's summer or winter. Roost & Root Coops use passive updraft ventilation in the roost areas to protect your sleeping chickens year-round from inclement weather while at the same time making sure they get critical ventilation, key to their respiratory health during hot & cold seasons and in particular, protection from frostbite in sub-zero temperatures.

Considerations for Zones 2-6

Snow/Storm Panels: Extreme storms can bring too much of a good thing to the outdoor areas of any coop. Our snow/storm panels are for the run areas of your coop and add temporary extra protection for extreme sideways-driven stormy weather in hot or cold seasons. Panels keep sideways rain and wind-driven snow from making things too sloppy in the run areas that chickens hang out in during the day. They are designed to be attached and detached during inclement conditions in warm or cold seasons, only when needed.

Panels are "transparent" for maximum clarity but they also can provide some shade. Where needed, ventilation is added to panels to make sure they do not cut off too much air circulation while still being able to protect your flock from... umm, fowl weather. Panels will not make your coop "waterproof" but will knock out the vast majority of wind-driven snow and rain in the "outdoor" run areas.

Freeze Protection: All coop waterers are shipped with a slotted cap that allows the water to breathe air as the water goes down. We make the slot big enough to allow a cord of an immersible heater to go through too. Based on feedback, submersible fish tank-style heaters work best. Presumably, it keeps the body of water in the tank warmer.

Poultry Nipples: Keeping the water from freezing is half of the battle. The nipple can freeze too if exposed to a direct sub-zero wind chill. That's why we create and sell a No Freeze 3D Printed Poultry Nipple that you may want to consider as an optional upgrade if you live somewhere cold.

Considerations for Zones 7-10

Living somewhere that experiences up to triple-digit weather can be bothersome not only for you but your chickens too. As you can see with all of our coops, heavy-gauge wired panels not only provide protection but offer an adequate amount of ventilation for your birds during the hottest of months. It's critical to always maintain your bird's waterer. You can also provide cold treats for your flock to beat the heat as well.

How to Keep Your Chickens Cool in the Summer Heat

A Bright Way To Keep Out The Cold Winds & Snow In The Winter… Take Them Off When Things Warm Up!

Live somewhere cold? No problem, we’ve got you covered. Almost every breed of adult chicken when kept dry and out of the wind chill are very, very cold hardy… even in sub-zero temperatures. So if you can keep the water from freezing, the snow from accumulating in the run areas, and keep sub-zero winds off your flock… they’re good to go. And our Storm Panels let in critical light during short winter days. Attach and detach 3D-printed retaining clips from wired panels.

See the Easy-Fill Waterer & Storm Panel accessory pages for your model coop for more details. There are links to buy heaters that fit from Amazon or other stores.
