Orpington Lodge Chicken Coop for 6 Chickens (Chicken Coop Kit with Run Options)
The Orpington Lodge is a heavy-duty wooden chicken coop kit designed for 4–6 chickens, built for backyard flock owners who want a durable, easy-to-assemble setup that performs in real outdoor conditions. This backyard chicken coop with run options offers a practical balance of space, protection, and everyday usability, making it a strong choice for both first-time and experienced chicken keepers.
Each Orpington Lodge arrives as a pre-drilled chicken coop kit with labeled panels, supported by step-by-step instructional videos from The Chicken Coop Company. With its solid construction, predator-resistant wire mesh, and thoughtful design details, this coop is built for long-term backyard use—not just short-term convenience.
If you are just getting started, our new chicken owner checklist walks you through everything you need before your coop arrives. Still deciding on breeds? Our top 5 egg laying breeds guide helps you choose the best chickens for your setup.
This coop is sized for small backyard flocks, comfortably supporting up to 6 small chickens or 4 large breeds. Because chickens share nesting boxes and roost side by side, actual capacity depends on breed size, run space, and whether your flock free ranges.
Hen House Dimensions and Interior Features
The Orpington Lodge hen house measures 55 inches wide by 29 inches long and includes two 30-inch roosting rods and one 33-inch roosting rod. There is 15 inches of clearance beneath the coop, providing additional usable space for your flock throughout the day.
A sliding door secures your chickens safely at night, while access doors beneath the coop make cleaning, feeding, and daily flock management easier.
A key structural advantage is the run panel support beneath each nesting box. This design prevents sagging over time—one of the most common failure points in lower-quality chicken coops—and is a clear indicator of long-term durability.
Chicken Coop with Run Options (Expandable Setup)
The Orpington Lodge is available with multiple chicken coop with run configurations to fit your backyard space and flock size.
The Original Run measures 31.5" W x 36.5" H x 85" L and includes additional roosting bars. The Walk-In Run expands to 39.5" W x 71.75" H x 101" L, giving you full standing access for easier cleaning and interaction. For larger setups, the Brahma Run offers a full 6' x 6' walk-in structure with significantly more usable space.
Additional run extensions and hen houses are available, allowing you to grow your chicken coop for 6 chickens into a larger system over time.
Heavy-Duty Construction & Predator-Resistant Design
The Orpington Lodge is built with heavy-duty wooden framing and reinforced panels, designed to handle real outdoor use. Each panel includes four diagonal support braces for added strength and long-term stability.
The coop features predator-resistant wire mesh with small spacing, helping protect your flock from common backyard predators. Heavy-duty hardware and locking mechanisms add another layer of security.
Roof panels include a plastic liner for insulation and weather resistance, while flashing above the nesting boxes prevents water intrusion. Ventilation is handled through locking side vent windows, which stay securely in place—unlike sliding wood windows that often swell and stick over time.
For full flock protection beyond the coop, our predator-proofing guide covers additional steps including anchoring, fencing, and perimeter security.
