Sizing your coop is critical
A general guideline is 10–15 square feet of outdoor run space per chicken. A flock of 10 should have 100–150 square feet to move, forage, and behave naturally. Proper spacing reduces stress, minimizes aggression, and supports flock health. Coop space can be more compact — chickens mostly use the coop to roost and shelter at night — so we plan for about 2 square feet per bird inside.

Can you keep chickens in your town?
Every New Jersey town sets its own rules, and most aren't obvious. We looked up the ordinance for 174 towns across 15 counties, hen limits, roosters, permits, and setbacks, so you know before you build. Search yours on our free NJ chicken-law map.

Turn-key coops, built on-site. Final pricing depends on size, features, and finishes — here's where each tier starts.
Our process
No kits. No shortcuts. From first conversation to build day.
Consultation
We talk through what you need. Your animals, your budget, where it goes, and how it should fit your property and match the look of your home.
Design
We design your build from the ground up, and we can put together a 3D rendering so you can see how it will look and change the size, colors, and features before we build. No kits.
Shop build
We prebuild about 80% of your coop in our shop, with premium materials and precision craftsmanship.
Delivery & on-site assembly
We deliver the sections and assemble them on your property, like a modular home, usually in a day or two.
Predator-proof by design
Predator protection is one of the most important elements of a properly built coop, especially in areas with active wildlife. Every Triano Farms coop is designed with layered defenses that stop predators before they ever reach your flock.
- A 2-foot-wide hardware-cloth skirt laid at ground level around the entire perimeter, stopping raccoons, foxes, and coyotes from digging underneath.
- All runs and windows enclosed in ½" PVC-coated hardware cloth — far stronger than chicken wire, and resistant to rust, chewing, and bending.
- Layered defense against climbing, digging, and squeezing predators, without giving up airflow or visibility.
- A secure, long-term solution that keeps birds safe day and night — without compromising durability, function, or looks.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a chicken coop?
The typical lead time is about 2 weeks after we receive your order. A heavier backlog can affect that timeline.
When laying the predator skirt, do you bury it?
We can. Most customers prefer to do their own landscaping over it — rock gardens or mulch beds over the skirt are a popular look. Buried or not, the skirt still provides full protection.
Do you build on uneven ground?
We assess the area and either add blocks to reach grade or bring in our contractors to level it. Setting the coop on blocks does not affect security — the predator skirt still provides full protection.
Can I customize size, color, and features?
Yes. This is your world and we are here to bring your vision to life. Many customers match the coop to their home's color scheme to tie everything together.
Do I need a permit for a chicken coop in NJ?
It depends on size. In NJ, coops are treated like sheds. Most temporary (non-permanent) structures under 200 sq ft do not require a permit. We assess your situation and take the necessary steps.
Have your own plans, drawings, or ideas?
