Rank #5 in Best Chicken Coop 2026: 10 Ranked, Houses, Runs and Prices
Cocoon 1000-2N Wooden Chicken Coop, 6–10 Birds
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Cocoon 1000-2N is a wooden hen house with two triple nest boxes, two doors and a pull-out tray, and it sits at number 5 in this guide at £259.99. The number worth stopping on is the bird count: 6–10, from a listing that describes exactly the same layout as Cocoon's ECO 1000 — two triple nest boxes, six compartments — which is stated as 6–8 birds. The cheaper of the two Cocoon houses is the one claiming the larger flock, so the figure follows the badge rather than the box.
The rest of the fiche is thinner than the headline. The specification rows list a dog breed size of Large and a breed recommendation of chicken, duck and rabbit, alongside 'Unit Count: 180 count' for what the listing sells as one coop. The rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 98 reviews, and the histogram behind that is top-heavy: 62 five-star, 14 at one or two stars. Automatic door openers are supported but not supplied, and the included components are given as assembly instructions and relevant fixings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Excellent little coop, my 7 ladies love it. Very cosy for them. Only issue is my girls are a lot bigger than we originally thought so had to take out the nest box dividers as they made the boxes too small for the girls to lay in, and they kept knocking them over. Very glad there's a door as well as a pop hole as, again, my ladies are too big to fit through the pop hole haha”
Verified purchase“really good value and made very sturdy definitely glad we found this on amazon”
