Urban Northern Coops

E-commerce Provider of Chicken Coops


Founded in 2014, Washington-based Urban Northern Coops operates as an e-commerce provider specializing in chicken coops and poultry-keeping products for backyard and small-scale urban homesteaders and farmers. Urban Northern Coops distributes its products nationwide, supporting customers who want reliable equipment for raising chickens and maintaining small home poultry flocks.

Backyard poultry keeping has become increasingly common in many parts of the country. The company recognizes that households are turning to chicken keeping to gain access to fresh eggs while developing a closer connection to food production. Maintaining a backyard flock can provide a consistent source of eggs and can help families participate more directly in managing a portion of their food supply.

Many families also see poultry keeping as a learning experience. Caring for chickens introduces children to daily responsibilities while encouraging respect for animals and food systems. Collecting eggs and maintaining a coop becomes part of a routine that helps families understand how food reaches the table. Over time, chicks often become familiar household pets.

How Urban Northern Coops Got Their Start

When the founders began raising chicks, Urban Northern Coops quickly realized that young birds grow rapidly into full-size chickens that require safe, practical housing. Secure coop design plays an important role in protecting poultry and maintaining flock health. The company focuses on housing that supports proper ventilation, predator protection, and sufficient space for chickens to move comfortably.

Providing appropriate housing also helps maintain a stable flock environment. Chickens need enough room to roost, nest, and move freely inside the coop. Limited space can create stress within the flock and may lead to feather pecking or reduced egg production. Proper housing design helps support healthier birds and consistent egg laying.

While searching for suitable coop options, Urban Northern Coops discovered that many available models cost more than $1,000. Building a coop independently would require significant time and effort. To address this challenge, the founders began developing their own models designed to simplify the process for poultry owners. The organization introduced designs that allow customers to obtain reliable housing without complex construction projects.

They tested and improved a range of features to refine their products. As a result, its coop models include vented windows, slide-out cleaning trays, and galvanized hardware cloth. Each structure is built from fir, a material known for performing well in various climates. The wood is also treated with an animal-safe, water-based stain designed to help protect the structure while maintaining a safe environment for poultry.

Urban Northern Coops also offers coop models with spacious interiors and fenced outdoor areas. This layout allows chickens to move between sheltered and open areas by using a ramp. Such arrangements support natural movement while allowing birds to remain active throughout the day.

Products Available: From High Quality Coops to Feeders and Accessories

The company offers a range of poultry-keeping products to support the daily care of backyard flocks. Each coop is shipped from within the United States, and some models can be adapted from other established coop styles found in the market. Its product line includes housing systems, feeders, waterers, and other accessories for poultry owners.

Customers frequently highlight the organization’s customer service and the straightforward assembly of its coop products. One customer commented on the New Metal Coop, stating, “I love that Urban Northern is offering a steel-framed coop. It's sturdy and a heavy little dude. We have 6 Olive Eggers in it that free range with supervision, usually for 1 to 2 hours a day. They seem content with their setup and have been laying eggs in the nest box. Shipping and communication have both been easy. 10 out of 10.”

Another customer described their experience with the Resort Coop, writing, “Purchased this to go inside a larger enclosed run area. Fairly easy to put together, has pre-drilled holes and guides. Sturdy once assembled, overall happy with this purchase.”

Urban Northern Coops has also received feedback from customers who purchased the Lodge Coop. One customer explained, “We did a lot of research before landing on the Lodge Coop from Urban Northern. Happy with our choice. Quick response from customer service, quick shipping, and assembly that even a novice can do. The Spring chicks that I hatched at the end of April have been thoroughly enjoying it. I also like that it's light enough to move around the yard to give them a fresh patch of grass every once in a while.”
