About Urban Northern Coops
E-commerce Provider of Chicken Coops
Established in 2014, Washington-based Urban Northern Coops is an e-commerce provider of chicken coops and poultry keeping products designed for backyard and small-scale urban homesteaders and farmers The organization offers a range of housing solutions and poultry-related equipment intended to support responsible chicken keeping in residential environments. Its products are sold throughout the United States and are designed to help individuals maintain healthy flocks while raising chickens for eggs, supporting sustainability, and producing household food.
In recent years, backyard poultry keeping has expanded far beyond a rural hobby Many households have discovered the advantages of raising chickens, including access to fresh eggs, a greater understanding of food sources, and the opportunity to practice sustainable living For families, maintaining a small flock can reduce grocery expenses while providing high-quality eggs produced at home. For children in particular, caring for chicks and chickens can foster responsibility, patience, and compassion through daily routines that involve feeding, cleaning, and monitoring the animals' wellbeing.
How Urban Northern Coops Got Their Start
As interest in raising chickens continued to grow, many new flock owners discovered the practical challenges involved in housing poultry safely Chicks grow quickly into full-size birds that require appropriate, secure, properly ventilated, and predator-resistant shelter. Adequate housing also plays an important role in flock health and egg production Chickens require enough space to roost, nest, and move comfortably throughout the day. Limited space or poorly designed housing can lead to stress, feather pecking, and lower egg production, all of which can affect the long-term wellbeing of a flock
While researching housing options, the founders of Urban Northern Coops found that many available coops cost more than $1,000 Building a structure from scratch would require significant time and construction skills, so they began developing several models intended to simplify the process Rather than expecting customers to invest weeks in custom construction or pay for expensive builds, they created practical designs that address common flock requirements while remaining accessible and affordable for backyard poultry keepers.
Over time, many design features were tested and refined to improve durability and functionality. As a result, its models include practical features such as vented windows to support airflow, slide-out trays to simplify routine cleaning, and galvanized hardware cloth to improve safety Each structure is built from fir wood, which performs well across different climates. In addition, each unit is treated with an animal-safe, water-based stain that enhances weather resistance while maintaining safe conditions for poultry
The company also offers models that combine a secure inner house with a fenced exterior area, allowing chickens to move up and down a small staircase while remaining contained within a protected environment. These designs allow birds to roost and nest indoors while still providing an enclosed outdoor space for movement during the day
