The story behind ChickenCoopsDirect

We’re a small, family-run business and one of the UK’s longest-established online retailers of chicken coops and runs.

Since 2009, we’ve supplied over 85,000 customers across the UK with well-made, practical coops at fair prices.

How it all began

When we first started, the choice for chicken keepers was fairly limited.

You could buy something beautifully made but very expensive, or a cheaper option that often didn’t last more than a season. There wasn’t much in between.

So we decided to do something different.

We set out to design our own range of coops that were strong, practical, and built to last, without pricing everyday keepers out.

Constantly improving

Over the past 16 years, we’ve listened closely to customer feedback and refined our designs year after year.

That feedback has come in many forms — emails, photos, surveys, and real-world use — and it’s shaped every improvement we’ve made.

Small issues were fixed, details were refined, and thoughtful changes were added based on how our coops are actually used day to day.

A family business that cares

This business has been part of our lives for over 16 years, and we take real pride in both the products we sell and the way we look after our customers.

We care about doing things properly, being honest, and making sure people feel supported before and after they buy from us.

Our focus

Our focus is simple: to offer good value, reliable quality, and friendly, straightforward service from start to finish.

We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we genuinely welcome feedback and suggestions.

It’s how we’ve continued to grow, improve, and support chicken keepers across the UK for more than a decade.
