A Dakota Storage chicken coop offers the perfect blend of quality craftsmanship, customization options, and ease of purchase. Whether you are new to chicken-keeping or looking to upgrade your setup, our coops are designed to meet your specific needs while providing a seamless buying experience. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the entire process to buy chicken coop, from browsing coop designs to where chicken coops should be placed to preparing for delivery, ensuring you get the chicken coop of your dreams.

Step 1. Explore Dakota Coop Designs

The first step in purchasing your Dakota chicken coop is to explore the available options. Start by browsing through our website and 3-D Configurator to get a sense of the variety of coop designs, sizes, and features we offer. We provide a range of options, from simple, functional free range coops to more elaborate enclosed coops with extra features to keep your flock safe while they roam outside. Consider what will work best for your flock’s size and your vision for the coop’s style.

 

As you browse, think about the size of your flock and the space you have available in your yard. Do you want a small, compact coop for a few chickens or a larger setup that gives you room to grow your flock in the future? Are you interested in additional features like easy access doors, ventilation, or a certain paint color? Keeping these factors in mind will help you narrow down your options and ensure that your coop aligns with your needs and preferences.

Step 2. Choose the Perfect Spot for Your Chicken Coop

Once you have an idea of what type of coop you want, the next step is to determine the best location for it in your yard. Where chicken coops are placed is critical for both functionality and the health of your chickens. You will want to find a spot that offers ample sunlight because chickens thrive in bright, well-lit environments. However, you will still need to provide some shade during hotter months. Additionally, the area should be well-drained to avoid pooling water, which can cause discomfort and health issues for your flock.

Evaluate your yard or property to choose a location that is easily accessible for cleaning and egg collection. Make sure the spot you select has enough space for both the coop and any run or additional outdoor space your chickens will need. By choosing the right placement, you will ensure that your coop is both convenient for you and comfortable for your chickens.

Step 3. Consult With Our Sales Team

One of the standout features of buying chicken coops from Dakota is our customer-first approach. Once you have a general idea of what you are looking for, it is time to reach out to Dakota’s sales team. They are experts in helping customers match their vision with the perfect chicken coop design. Whether you have a clear idea in mind or need guidance in refining your choices, our sales professionals will take the time to understand your specific needs.

 

Their goal is to ensure that your coop not only meets your practical requirements but also aligns with your aesthetic preferences and long-term goals. Don’t hesitate to share your vision, and the sales team will provide personalized recommendations that match your dream setup.

Step 4. Customize Your Chicken Coop to Fit Your Vision

One of the best aspects of buying a Dakota chicken coop is the ability to customize it to your exact specifications. During your conversation with the sales team, discuss whether a pre-built coop will meet your needs or if you would benefit from a fully customized design. We offer a wide range of customization options, allowing you to choose everything from the layout and size to specific features like the roofing materials, coop layout, or exterior paint color.

Customizing your coop gives you the flexibility to create a space that perfectly fits your flock and your backyard. The sales team will help you weigh the benefits of a standard, pre-built model versus a custom option, ensuring that you choose the best route for your budget and needs.

Step 5. Determine the Best Delivery Option for Your Coop

After finalizing the design of your coop, it is important to discuss the delivery options. At Dakota, we offer several ways to get your coop delivered quickly and efficiently. Depending on your location, you may be able to pick up your coop from a nearby display lot, or we can arrange delivery to your home.

Step 7. Prepare Your Site for a Smooth Coop Delivery

Before your coop arrives, you will need to prepare the site where chicken coops will be placed. Make sure the ground is level and clear of debris, and that there is easy access for delivery. You may need to install a foundation or support system, depending on your coop’s size and your location’s terrain. Proper drainage is also important to prevent water buildup around the coop, which could cause damage over time.
