What's included in the price
Every coop is turn-key — the essentials aren't upsells. Standard on every build:
What changes the price
- Size — a bigger footprint and run is the biggest single factor.
- Walk-in vs. standard — a stand-up-height coop costs more than a compact one.
- Site prep — uneven ground may need leveling or blocks to reach grade.
- Finishes — a custom paint color to match your home, or a low-VOC water-based stain.
- Add-ons — automatic feeders and waterers. Just about everything else is already included; an automatic coop door is standard on every build.
- Saving a little — board-and-batten siding can be swapped for LP board to trim cost. That is the one place we'll flex. We won't cut quality anywhere else.
Deposit, payment, and scheduling
Why a built-on-site coop costs more than a kit — and is worth it
A big-box kit looks cheap because it is: thin panels, staples, and chicken wire that a determined raccoon or fox gets through in a season. In New Jersey — with foxes, raccoons, coyotes, hawks, and black bears in the northern counties — that's a flock lost, not money saved. A Triano Farms coop is real lumber, ½" PVC-coated hardware cloth, a 2-foot dig-proof skirt, and a steel roof, built on your land to last for years. You buy it once.

A custom, built-on-site coop and run starts around $4,950 for a small flock, $6,650 for 9 to 10 hens, and up to $10,800 for our largest standard build at 17 to 20. Final price depends on size, features, and finishes.
Why does a custom coop cost more than a kit?
A big-box kit is thin plywood and chicken wire that a raccoon can open in a season. Our coops are built on-site from real lumber with ½" PVC-coated hardware cloth, a 2-foot dig-proof predator skirt, and a steel roof — built to last years, not one winter.
What's included in the price?
Every build is turn-key: predator-proofing, three-stage nesting boxes, a 29 ga. ribbed steel roof, an access ladder, a deep-litter floor, and delivery and on-site assembly. No hidden add-ons for the essentials.
Do you build custom sizes?
Yes. If none of the standard footprints fit your flock or your yard, we design and build to your exact plan.
What deposit do you require, and how can I pay?
A 50% deposit starts the build. We accept check, credit card, or cash. We don't offer financing.
Do you charge for travel or delivery?
We build across New Jersey. Site visits within 15 miles are free. Beyond our local area, travel is billed at a $250 minimum or $6 per mile.
How long is the lead time?
About 2 weeks is typical. From March through June, when everyone wants a coop, it can stretch to 6 weeks. If you want one for spring, we suggest ordering in the fall to skip the rush.
