Urban Northern Coops

Urban Northern Coops is a Washington-based e-commerce company founded in 2014 that specializes in chicken coops and poultry-keeping products for backyard enthusiasts and small-scale urban farmers. Serving customers across the United States, the brand focuses on practical, durable, and accessible solutions that support the growing interest in raising chickens at home for fresh eggs, sustainability, and a closer connection to food sources. In recent years, backyard poultry keeping has expanded beyond rural communities into suburban and urban settings. Many households now value the ability to produce their own eggs, reduce grocery costs, and embrace more sustainable habits. Raising chickens also encourages responsibility and compassion, especially for families with children, who often see birds as more than livestock and treat them as household pets. The founders quickly realized that chicks mature rapidly and require proper housing that ensures safety, ventilation, and protection from predators. Adequate space is essential for roosting, nesting, and movement, as overcrowding can lead to stress and lower egg production. When they explored available options, they found most Coops were either too expensive or required significant time and effort to build from scratch. To address this gap, they designed and developed coop models that balance affordability with functionality. Instead of forcing customers to choose between costly builds or complex DIY projects, they created thoughtfully engineered designs that simplify setup. Each model includes practical features such as vented windows, slide-out cleaning trays, and durable galvanized hardware cloth for long-term use. Their Urban Northern Coops are constructed from fir wood, selected for its performance across different climates, and finished with an animal-safe, water-based stain. Many designs feature a spacious interior and a secure outdoor run, allowing chickens to move freely while remaining protected. This combination supports both animal welfare and owner convenience when managing daily care and maintenance. Beyond coops, the company offers a wide range of poultry-related products, including feeders, waterers, bedding, heaters, and automated coop doors. Customers can also find coop plans, accessories, and occasional livestock offerings. With more than 10,000 customers served, feedback often highlights ease of assembly, responsive customer service, and reliable product quality across various coop models. Urban Northern Coops continues to build on its reputation by providing accessible poultry solutions that meet the needs of modern homesteaders. Customer reviews frequently note sturdy construction, simple setup, and thoughtful design features that enhance both usability and flock comfort. By focusing on practical innovation and customer satisfaction, the company remains a trusted choice for individuals looking to start or expand their backyard poultry experience.
