Assumptions:

  • Pasture season: 180 days per year (Western Canada baseline)
  • Egg production: 0.8 eggs per hen per day during season
  • Feed consumption: 1/3 lb per hen per day
  • Misc costs: $3 per hen per season (grit, oyster shell, etc.)

Regional Note: This calculator uses a 180-day pasture season typical for Western Canada climates (Alberta, Saskatchewan, interior BC). Coastal climates may extend this season, while extreme northern regions may require shorter projections. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Built for Decades

Aluminum never rots, rusts, or warps. While wooden coops need replacing every 4-5 years, ours are engineered to last a lifetime of pasture seasons.

High Resale Value

Just like a quality tractor, a Wild Rose Coop holds its value. If you ever decide to sell, you'll recover a significant portion of your initial investment.

Production Efficiency

Better ventilation, easier moving, and cleaner environments mean healthier birds and higher yields. The coop works for you, not the other way around.
