# Best Chicken Coop 2026: 10 Ranked, Houses, Runs and Prices Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops Published: 2026-09-16 | Updated: 2026-09-16 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-16 The price column on this page mixes two different products: a house you can shut hens into at night, and a run with a cover over it. Omlet's Eglu Cube is the most expensive item here at £769, and its own first bullet says 'Run is not included' — that buys a house, not a chicken house and run. Meanwhile the £125.99 PawHut coop-and-run is listed for 1-2 chickens, and Cocoon's own ECO 1000 (£279.99) claims 6-8 birds while the cheaper 1000-2N (£259.99) claims 6-10 — both with two triple nest boxes and six compartments. As a result, the best chicken coop on this list is whichever one matches your enclosure, not the bird count in the title. We ranked ten of the best chicken coop options on Amazon by customer rating, review count, published dimensions, and how clearly each listing states its bird capacity and what is actually in the box. Where a listing contradicts itself, we say so with both numbers. ## The ranking ### 1. Cocoon ECO 1000 Wooden Chicken Coop, 6–8 Birds - Price: £279.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 291 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/cocoon-eco-1000-chicken-coop - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000YWZJTG?tag=ranked10-21 The largest review base on the page — 291 ratings at 4.2 — plus six nest compartments, but no run and a bird count that drifts between 6–8 and 6–10 across the two Cocoon models. First place goes on sample size. This house has 291 customer ratings at 4.2, nearly three times the 98 of the cheaper Cocoon 1000-2N it sits above. Its footprint is 152 x 100 x 110cm including the nest box and roof overhangs, and the front panel is described as auto-door ready. On review volume alone it is the best chicken coop here. In practice, the design aims at low maintenance rather than looks. The roofs are plastic rather than felt, the pull-out tray is metal-lined and lockable, and the legs sit on adjustable rot-resistant caps, which helps on uneven ground. Two triple nest boxes give six laying compartments, so there is no queue at peak laying. That said, the listing contradicts itself. The title says ECO 1000; the model name field says ECO 1000-2N. The bird count is 6-8 here and 6-10 on the £20 cheaper 1000-2N with the same six compartments. And no run appears anywhere in the title, bullets or included components — this is a house and nest box only, so free-ranging or a separate enclosure is assumed. Pros: 291 ratings at 4.2 — nearly three times the 98 of the £259.99 1000-2N; Two triple nest boxes, six laying compartments; Lockable metal-lined pull-out tray; Plastic roofs instead of felt, so no felt to harbour red mite; Auto-door ready front panel Cons: No run included or mentioned anywhere in the listing; Title says ECO 1000, model name field says ECO 1000-2N; Claims 6–8 birds; the £20 cheaper 1000-2N claims 6–10; 5% of the rating breakdown is one-star ### 2. Aivituvin Mobile Chicken Coop with Wheels, Black - Price: £159.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 648 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/aivituvin-chicken-coop-with-wheels - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GY2R365X?tag=ranked10-21 648 ratings at 4.2 and the only coop here that moves on wheels, yet the listing never states how many hens it takes. The most-reviewed item on this page: 648 ratings at 4.2, against 355 for the grey XL version below it. It measures 175 x 66 x 100cm. Notably, the listing never says how many hens it holds — the only capacity guidance is 'All Breed Sizes' under breed recommendation. Worth noting, because 648 people have rated a coop with no published bird number. Its selling point is movement. Two durable wheels and a side handle let you drag the coop onto fresh grass. The roof is sloping asphalt, and a PVC cover sits above the nesting boxes to stop leaks; custom locks are fitted so predators cannot open the nest. Four access areas and a removable leakproof tray cover cleaning, and two units can be joined by removing the side door. By contrast with the £209.99 grey version, this one is 66cm deep and the covered run sits under the nesting box, so the roaming strip is narrow. It is not a large chicken coop in any real sense. If your hens need serious daytime space, skip it — or buy two, as the listing suggests. Either way, this is not the best chicken coop for a flock of six. Pros: 648 ratings at 4.2, the largest review base on this page; Built-in wheels and a side handle for moving onto fresh grass; PVC cover over the nest boxes plus a sloping asphalt roof; Four access areas and a removable leakproof tray; Two units can be joined by removing the side door Cons: No number of hens stated anywhere in the listing; 66cm deep — the run is a strip under the nesting box; 8% of the rating breakdown is one-star; No published capacity guidance beyond 'All Breed Sizes' ### 3. Aivituvin Grey XL Mobile Chicken Coop, 190cm - Price: £209.99 | Amazon rating: 4.3 from 355 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/aivituvin-chicken-coop-mobile - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GY2X6C93?tag=ranked10-21 The best-rated Aivituvin at 4.3 from 355 ratings, 15cm longer than the £159.99 version, and still only 66cm deep. The highest-rated Aivituvin here at 4.3 from 355 ratings, and the longest at 190 x 66 x 100cm — 15cm more than the £159.99 black version for £50 more. On ratings alone it is the best chicken coop of the three Aivituvin models. The upgrade over the cheaper model is in the fittings: spring latches rather than everyday latches, a steel slide pole controlling the door between the ramp and the resting room, and timber ridges on the asphalt ramp so birds do not slip. The roof opens for ventilation. The two-section nest box and slide-out metal tray handle the daily jobs, and the pen under the nesting box is the activity space. However, 66cm of depth is still 66cm. The pen sits beneath the house, not beside it, and no bird count appears anywhere in the listing. In theory you can house a flock in it; in practice you are guessing. Anyone with more than a few hens should compare the 250cm Cocoon coops further down. Pros: 4.3 from 355 ratings, the best-rated Aivituvin here; 190 x 66 x 100cm, 15cm longer than the £159.99 black model; Spring latches and a steel slide-pole door; Roof opens for ventilation; timber ridges on the ramp; Two-section nest box and slide-out metal tray Cons: Still only 66cm deep; No number of hens stated; £50 more than the black version for 15cm; 5% of the rating breakdown is one-star ### 4. Cocoon 3000WX 8ft Chicken Coop with Integrated Run - Price: £229.99 | Amazon rating: 4.0 from 243 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/cocoon-3000wx-chicken-coop - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008I0LG34?tag=ranked10-21 250cm of wooden chicken coop with an integrated run for £30 less than the covered-run model, but rated 4.0 and listed for 3–4 birds. This wooden chicken coop is 250cm long and 76cm wide, and it is the cheapest way here to get a house and run in one unit: £229.99 against £259.99 for the similarly sized 3000XWR below. The trade-off is the rating — 4.0 from 243 ratings, the joint-lowest score on the page. The run is integrated under an opening roof, with a metal-lined pull-out tray, a nest box, perches and two doors across two levels. Roof panels open fully for cleaning. The specification also lists rabbits, ducks and guinea pigs as target species, so it is sold as a multi-pet unit rather than a specialist hen house. The listing is blunt about one thing: 'THIS IS NOT A WALK IN COOP'. If you want a walk-in chicken run you can stand inside, this is not it — it is a 76cm-wide enclosure your birds use and you reach into. It is also listed for 3–4 birds only. Buyers wanting headroom should look elsewhere. Pros: 250 x 76 x 103cm house and integrated run for £229.99; £30 cheaper than the covered-run 3000XWR; Metal-lined pull-out tray; roof panels open for access; Nest box, perches, two doors and two levels included; 243 ratings at 4.0 Cons: 4.0, the joint-lowest rating on this list; Listed for 3–4 birds only; The listing states it is not a walk-in coop; 10% of the rating breakdown is one-star ### 5. Cocoon 1000-2N Wooden Chicken Coop, 6–10 Birds - Price: £259.99 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 98 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/cocoon-1000-2n-chicken-coop - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0083TVJVY?tag=ranked10-21 Claims 6–10 birds — the highest count here — for £20 less than the 6–8 bird ECO 1000, with no dimensions published anywhere. If you are shopping for a chicken coop for 6 hens, this and the ECO 1000 both quote six nest compartments. This one claims 6-10 birds at £259.99; the ECO 1000 claims 6-8 at £279.99. Same nest configuration, different numbers, £20 apart. The practical details are solid: a lockable metal-lined pull-out tray accessible from the front and back, a rear access door, a secure front door with ramp, rot-resistant adjustable leg caps, and compatibility with automatic door openers. Two triple nest boxes give the six compartments. The catch is what is missing. The specification table publishes no L x W x H at all, which makes it hard to judge against the 152 x 100 x 110cm ECO 1000. Review volume is also thin: 98 ratings at 4.1 against 291 for the ECO 1000. Even so, if you want the larger stated capacity for less money, this is the one to check first. Pros: Claims 6–10 birds — the highest stated capacity on this page; £20 cheaper than the 6–8 bird ECO 1000; Tray is metal-lined, lockable and reachable from front and back; Auto-door compatible, with a separate rear access door; Two triple nest boxes, six compartments Cons: No dimensions published in the specification table; 98 ratings at 4.1 — the thinnest Cocoon sample here; No run included; 7% of the rating breakdown is one-star ### 6. Cocoon 3000XWR Chicken House and Covered Run - Price: £259.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 84 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/cocoon-3000xwr-chicken-coop - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006K15SQY?tag=ranked10-21 The only covered-run model in the Cocoon range, at 250cm with four Perspex windows, but priced for a flock of three or four. The only chicken house and run here with full weather cover from house to run, and four Perspex windows in the front door. It measures 250 x 76 x 102.5cm — the same footprint as the £229.99 3000WX, for £30 more — and it is rated for 3-4 medium-sized chickens. The covered run and nest box are both under cover, the roof opens fully, and the tray is metal-lined and pulls out. Two levels and two doors, plus the large Perspex-panelled front door for light and ventilation. Wheels, a cover and an extension run are available separately from the supplier. That said, 3-4 medium birds is a small flock for £259.99, and the review base is the thinnest of the Cocoon models at 84 ratings and 4.2. Nine of those are one-star. If you keep six hens, this is not the best chicken coop for you. Pros: Covered run and covered nest box — full weather protection; Four Perspex windows in the large front door; Fully opening roof and metal-lined pull-out tray; Wheels, cover and extension run available from the supplier; 250 x 76 x 102.5cm Cons: Listed for 3–4 medium chickens only; £259.99, £30 more than the same-footprint 3000WX; 84 ratings — the smallest Cocoon sample here; 9% of the rating breakdown is one-star ### 7. FeelGoodUK Large Coop House, 115 x 85 x 90cm - Price: £179.99 | Amazon rating: 4.0 from 554 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/feelgooduk-coop-house-large - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004AUW8JC?tag=ranked10-21 The second-largest review base on the page at 554 ratings, for a house-only coop that leaves you to supply the run. 554 ratings at 4.0 — the second-largest review base on this page — for a house measuring 115 x 85 x 90cm. No run is included or mentioned in the bullets: this is a night shelter with a drop-down door and ramp at the front and a second at the back. The builder's argument is about materials. The panels are tongue and groove fir, the roof is solid wood with no felt — the listing claims felt is a cheap alternative that encourages red mite — and there are four internal roosting perches. The external nest box has two sections and a prop-up lid for egg collection, and multiple locking doors give access for bedding, food and water. The catch is space. At 115cm wide with no run, your hens need a separate fenced area or free-range access from dawn. Ten of the ratings are one-star. If you want a coop and run in one purchase, this is not it — an additional nest box is available from the supplier, but not an attached run. Pros: 554 ratings at 4.0 — the second-largest review base here; Four internal roosting perches; Twin-section external nest box with a prop-up lid; Tongue and groove fir roof with no felt, per the listing's own red mite argument; Multiple locking doors, with ramps front and back Cons: No run included — 115 x 85 x 90cm of house only; Hens need separate daytime space or free-range access; 10% of the rating breakdown is one-star; An extra nest box costs extra from the supplier ### 8. Omlet Eglu Cube Chicken Coop, Green (No Run) - Price: £769.00 | Amazon rating: 4.8 from 25 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/omlet-eglu-cube-coop - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XTVQ9H8?tag=ranked10-21 The highest rating here at 4.8 and the highest price at £769 — and its own first bullet says the run is not included. This is the best chicken coop on the page by rating, 4.8, and the most expensive at £769. The catch is the sample: 25 ratings, split 76% five-star and 24% four-star, with nothing at three stars or below. It is also the only item here whose own first bullet says 'Run is not included'. The build is different in kind from the wooden coops above. It is UV-stabilised polyethylene with powder-coated steel, two levels, a fixed tray and a nesting box — no wood for red mite to live in. Cleaning is a hose-down job. It is described as weatherproof, cool in summer and warm in winter. Either way, do the arithmetic first. At £769 with no run you are paying for the house alone, and adding a run puts the total well above anything else on this page. The only warranty term listed is a 180-day money-back guarantee, and the country of origin is China. If you want the run included at this price, this is not the product. Pros: 4.8 rating, the highest on this page; No rating below four stars in the breakdown; UV-stabilised polyethylene and powder-coated steel — no wood for red mite; Two levels, with a fixed tray and a nesting box; Weatherproof, hose-clean surface Cons: £769 and the run is not included — stated in its own first bullet; Only 25 ratings; The only warranty term listed is a 180-day money-back guarantee; Country of origin listed as China ### 9. FeelGoodUK Chicken Coop and Run, 160 x 75 x 80cm - Price: £159.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 219 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/feelgood-chester-chicken-coop - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RXUVMFM?tag=ranked10-21 A £159.99 house-and-run unit with a sliding overnight door, rated 4.2 across 219 ratings, for small breeds only. A house and run in one at £159.99, measuring 160 x 75 x 80cm, with 219 ratings at 4.2. The listing recommends it for small breeds, and the size field says the same. The detail that matters is the sliding access door between the hutch and the run, which lets you shut the birds into the covered section overnight while the run stays as daytime space. The roof lifts and is described as watertight, which makes cleaning easier; the tray is metal-coated and there are two internal perches. Four doors give access, and an extension run and cover are available from the supplier. However, small breeds is the limit — no large fowl. The unit is raised slightly to keep the sleeping area dry, which suits a fixed position rather than moving it about. And with two perches, do not read the 160cm length as a bird count; the listing never gives one. Pros: House and run in one at £159.99, 160 x 75 x 80cm; 219 ratings at 4.2; Sliding door between hutch and run for overnight security; Watertight lift-up roof, metal-coated pull-out tray and two perches; Four doors; extension run and cover available from the supplier Cons: Recommended for small breeds only; Two internal perches only; No number of birds published; 8% of the rating breakdown is one-star ### 10. PawHut Chicken Coop with Run, 196 x 76 x 97cm - Price: £125.99 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 142 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/pet-supplies/best-chicken-coops/pawhut-chicken-coop-run - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08Y98S7Y7?tag=ranked10-21 The cheapest coop here at £125.99 and Amazon's number 2 in the category, listed for 1–2 chickens — the smallest stated capacity on the page. The cheapest item here at £125.99, and number 2 in Amazon's Poultry Coops & Cages category. It is also the one that makes the point of this page obvious: 196 x 76 x 97cm of chicken coop with run, listed for 1-2 chickens. The run cage alone is 96.5 x 63.5 x 58cm. For the money the frame is solid wood with reinforced steel wire mesh, an asphalt roof and a nesting box, plus an openable top and two doors; assembly is required. A multi-purpose line means it doubles as a duck house. The 6-month manufacturer warranty is the shortest on this page. Even so, be honest about the number. Two hens is the stated limit, and the covered run is under a metre long. It is the cheapest chicken coop for sale on this list, but if you keep four birds it will not hold them — move up to the £159.99 units instead. Pros: £125.99, the lowest price on this page; Number 2 best seller in Amazon's Poultry Coops & Cages; 196 x 76 x 97cm with an asphalt roof and reinforced steel wire mesh; Nesting box, openable top and two doors; 142 ratings at 4.1 Cons: Listed for 1–2 chickens only; Run cage is just 96.5 x 63.5 x 58cm; 6-month manufacturer warranty, the shortest listed; Assembly required; 10% of the rating breakdown is one-star ## Verdict For most homes, the £125.99 PawHut chicken coop with run is the cheapest way onto this list, but it is listed for 1-2 chickens only, so it suits two hens and no more. If you want the best chicken coop for a small flock that can be moved onto fresh grass, the £159.99 Aivituvin with wheels has 648 ratings at 4.2 and can be joined to a second unit. If you want the best chicken coop on cleaning and build, the £769 Omlet Eglu Cube has the highest rating at 4.8 — but its own bullet says the run is not included, so budget for that separately. Either way, read the printed bird count on any chicken coop for sale before you order.
