Chickens & coops

A little story of how chickens became part of the redworm website.

This is part of the fun of utilizing the resources that surround everyone of us. In the process of learning about all the compost critters that live in my compost I discovered one that turns out to be a great food source for chickens. The black soldier fly larva. This larva consumes large amounts of waste quickly and matures in a matter of weeks. In the larval stage it is 40% protein and 20% fat. This turns out to be a good food source for chickens and at the same time it eats up your garbage. The waste from the larva becomes part of the food for redworms to consume. The chickens we now have were originally bought to study the value of the larva, but now they have become part of the family. For more information on the Black soldier fly see out compost critters page.

Many of our items are built when ordered. During the busy season we may have a list of orders that we are working on so you may wan to call to see what the time frame is on getting the item(s) that you would like. On items over $100 we require a $50 deposit before we can start working on your order. Once the deposit is paid we will let you know where you are on the list and the approximate time your order will be ready.

We have chicken coops, chicken runs, brooders and a list of options to fit your needs. Occasionally we also have various chicks/pullets/hens for sale.

The Large Camas coop is suitable for up to 8 chickens. It has two roosting bars, three nesting boxes with lift top to collect eggs, side chicken door and lots of room. Wide open front doors for easy cleaning. Nesting box can be ordered to be on left or right side.

Medium Camas coop is 6" smaller in all dimensions and is suitable for 3-5 chickens. Single roost, two nest boxes.

Both coops come as a 7 pc kit that assembles in about 20 minutes.

Platform Coops

For someone who wants to have a few more chickens. Here is a new addition to our coop choices.

40 x 72 Platform Coop

It has:

Six external nest boxes
Four 35" roosting bars (hinged for easy cleaning underneath)
Double front doors
Dark corrogated plastic roof

This coop is good for 10-15 chickens.

48 x 96 Platform Coop

This coop is an older picture and is being modified to look just like the 40 x 72 platform coop just a little larger. it will have:

eight external nest boxes
four 44" hinged roosts
Double front doors
Dark corrogated plastic roof

This coop is made for 15 to 20 chickens.

Either of these coops can have the shingled roof for an additional $40,

but this roof choice would have to be done on site and would include a delivery and install charge. Cost will vary due to distance from our location.

The 8' x 8' coop w/an 8' x 8' run below has multi level shelves and roosts and can easily hold 40+ chickens. With the extented roof and inside/outside lights this coop will cost $2500 installed. The options can vary depending on your needs.

This brooder is 4’ wide 32” deep and 22” tall (inside is 17” tall). There will be a smaller door built into the middle of the larger door for daily feeding. The brooder is stackable and good for transporting larger chickens (the light is easily removed). Blanket not included, but recommended for regulating the temperature. Easy to clean pull-out tray. $135.00.
