Do you raise chickens on your farm for personal, friends and family use? 

Don’t you think your feathery friends deserve to live in style? If so, look no further, Roost & Root have plenty of chicken coop models to choose from that you and your chickens will enjoy. 

Based in the US, Roost &Root have been in game since 2013 and was originally created to provide a better alternative to the chicken coops available on the market. Over the years Roost & Root became more sophisticated in how they designed and manufactured coops as well as greenhouses and gardening products.  

All products are crafted from high-quality materials, with careful attention given to every design detail, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. 

Roost & Root have a series of Heritage Chicken coops available in models 12, 20, 30, and 40. The newest edition to the Heritage Chicken Coop line up, model 12, is built with premium materials—no plywood or Doug Fir. Larger and more complete than any coop in its class, it features 100% pre-made panels for faster assembly.  

Redundant waterers and bulk feeders are included as standard (not just options like in other coops). Each model has a storage room accessible from both inside and outside, while the durable smoked open-truss polycarbonate roof lets in natural light. Dual solar-powered automatic doors are also included. The Model 12 houses up to 20 chickens in a spacious 10-foot by 12-foot design. 

So, the next time you are thinking of upgrading your chicken coop, Roost & Root has you covered for all your chicken coop needs. Your chickens will thank you!
