Urban Northern Coops is a Washington-based e-commerce company established in 2014, focused on providing chicken coops and poultry supplies for backyard keepers and small-scale urban farmers. The company serves customers nationwide with products designed to support practical, efficient, and affordable poultry care, helping individuals create safe and comfortable environments for their flocks.
Backyard chicken keeping has grown significantly in popularity, moving beyond traditional rural settings into cities and suburbs. People are increasingly drawn to raising chickens for fresh eggs, reduced food costs, and a more sustainable lifestyle. For many families, caring for chickens also brings educational value, teaching responsibility while fostering a deeper appreciation for food production and animal care.
The founders discovered early on that raising chicks quickly requires proper housing as they grow into full-sized birds. Chickens need a secure, ventilated space that protects them from predators and allows enough room to rest and move comfortably. Without adequate housing, flocks can experience stress, reduced egg production, and health issues that impact their overall well-being.
After researching available options, they found that many Coops on the market were either too expensive or difficult to build. In response, they developed their own models that simplify the process for customers. These designs aim to eliminate the need for complex construction while still offering the durability and functionality required for long-term use in different environments.
Each Urban Northern Coop is built with fir wood, known for its performance across various weather conditions, and is treated with an animal-safe stain. The models include features such as proper ventilation, easy-to-clean trays, and strong protective materials. Many also combine indoor shelter with a secure outdoor run, giving chickens space to explore while remaining protected.
In addition to coops, the company offers a broad selection of feeders, waterers, accessories, and equipment designed to support daily poultry care. With more than 10,000 customers served, feedback often highlights the ease of assembly, reliable shipping, and responsive customer service. Many users appreciate the balance between affordability and quality across the product range.
Urban Northern Coops continues to support the growing community of backyard poultry keepers by delivering practical solutions that make flock management easier and more accessible. Through thoughtful design and a commitment to customer satisfaction, the company has established itself as a dependable option for anyone looking to start or improve their home poultry-keeping experience.
