When we were looking for a barn, we found a chicken coop. More and more of our neighbors are raising chickens. We hear roosters from every direction in the morning and we see chickens in fenced yards every time we walk the dog.<\/p>\n

The Chicken Coop Collection<\/h2>\n

Carolina Storage Solutions has The Chicken Coop Collection. They sell four chicken coop models in three sizes.<\/p>\n

They all start with the same chicken coop, the Standard Quaker Coop. It is available as 4\u2032 x 8\u2032, 6\u2032 x 8\u2032 or 8\u2032 x 12\u2032.<\/p>\n

The standard does not have any run at all.<\/p>\n

There are three different run options.<\/p>\n

With a Lower Run, the run is under the chicken coop.<\/p>\n

The Quaker Run is the same height as the coop.<\/p>\n

The run size is the same size as coop. So, a 4\u2032 x 8\u2032 chicken coop has a 4\u2032 x 8\u2032 run, a 6\u2032 x 8\u2032 chicken coop has a 6\u2032 x 8\u2032 run and a 8\u2032 x 12\u2032 coop has a 8\u2032 x 12\u2032 run.<\/p>\n
