Amish-Built Q48C 4x8 Quaker Combination Chicken Coop | The Nestled Coop

All-In Pricing • Free Delivery • Professional On-Site Placement Included

Built From Real-World Experience, Not Marketing Claims

The Q48C 4×8 Quaker Combination Chicken Coop is designed for backyard chicken keepers who want a single, integrated coop-and-run system built to handle daily use, seasonal weather, and long-term ownership. Built by experienced Amish craftsmen, this model follows agricultural construction standards developed through years of real-world testing — not lightweight, flat-pack assumptions.

Many backyard coops fail early due to undersized framing, poor ventilation, or materials that cannot tolerate moisture and heat. We’ve documented these issues in detail in our guide on why some chicken coops fail early and what durable designs do differently, and the Q48C is built specifically to avoid those failure points.

A 4×8 Quaker Combination Chicken Coop With Integrated Run

This 4×8 Quaker combination chicken coop combines a 4×4 enclosed coop area with a 4×4 attached run, offering a balanced layout for keepers who want secure housing and protected daytime space in a single footprint.

The Quaker-style roofline increases interior headroom and helps direct rain away from the structure, while the overall height of approximately 94 inches supports airflow and heat management during warmer months. The elevated design keeps the floor dry and discourages rodents from nesting beneath the coop.

If you’re comparing layouts or deciding whether a coop-and-run combination makes sense for your property, our guide on how to choose the right chicken coop walks through spacing, layout, and long-term planning considerations.

Durable Materials Designed for Long-Term Use

The Q48C is constructed using board-and-batten siding, a traditional building method known for strength, weather resistance, and dimensional stability. The floor is built from 5/8″ LP® engineered flooring, selected to resist moisture and long-term wear.

The roof system includes TechShield® radiant barrier sheathing, which reflects radiant heat to help moderate interior temperatures during peak summer conditions. Charcoal architectural shingles provide additional weather protection while maintaining a clean, classic appearance.

Two 18″ × 23″ screened windows supply natural light and cross-ventilation, supporting airflow and reducing moisture buildup year-round.

Interior and Run Features Built for Daily Care

Inside the coop, a dedicated roosting bar encourages healthy nighttime behavior, while four private nesting boxesprovide quiet, secure laying areas that help reduce stress and discourage egg-eating. Each nesting box lid includes gas-prop assists, allowing for safe, one-handed egg collection.

The attached run area is fully enclosed, providing a protected space for scratching, movement, and social behavior while limiting exposure to ground-level and aerial threats. This integrated design allows keepers to manage daily access without relying on add-on fencing or temporary enclosures.

For a deeper explanation of how layout and enclosure design affect flock safety, our predator-proofing guide breaks down what actually works — and what often fails — in backyard environments.
