Our Story — A Family-Owned & Run Company
Built by Bill.
Bill leads the design and craftsmanship behind every LuckyBird structure, working alongside a small team of professionals who build, deliver, and install each project to his standard.
LuckyBird Coops started with a simple observation: most coops are built to sell, not to last.
After years of watching well-intentioned structures fail against Colorado's weather and wildlife, Bill set out to build something different — a coop, barn, or greenhouse engineered the same way he'd build for his own land. No kits. No compromises. No guesswork.
Every LuckyBird structure is designed by Bill and hand-built in Franktown, Colorado, then delivered and installed on your property by our own small team. It's a standard we hold to a simple test: if it wouldn't hold up on our own farm, it doesn't leave the shop.
That philosophy hasn't changed as we've grown — from chicken coops to duck housing, greenhouses, mini barns, and fully custom builds. The scale is different. The standard isn't.

The Shop
Where every build begins.
Every LuckyBird structure starts life here — our workshop in Franktown, where raw lumber becomes coops, barns, and greenhouses under one roof. No production line, no outsourced parts: framing, finishing, and fitting all happen in this space.
Walk through the shop with us — this is where your build will be made.

The Team
Family & Team.
LuckyBird Coops is a family-owned and run business. Bill, his wife Doreen, and their son-in-law Austin have been hand-building custom coops together for six years.
That craft is backed by 40 years of combined professional experience in HVAC, carpentry, and mechanical contracting — part of why our structures are engineered as well as they're built.
And it's who shows up on your property: every build and every install is done by this same small team — never outsourced, never subcontracted.

The Farm
Home, where the standard comes from.
The test every structure has to pass is simple: would it hold up on our own farm? These are the residents it answers to.

What We Hold To
Five standards, every build.
Predator-Resistant Construction
Hardware cloth, predator aprons, reinforced doors — engineered for Colorado's foxes, raccoons, coyotes, and bears.
Weather-Ready Builds
Sub-zero winters, high winds, heavy snow. Every structure is designed for the climate it will actually live in.
Clean, Intentional Design
Considered proportions and finish quality that belongs on a designed property — not hidden behind it.
Custom Fit
Sized to your space and your animals. No catalog dimensions forced onto your land.
White-Glove Delivery & Installation
Every build is delivered and installed on site by our own team — included, always.
