truck-and-trailer-hookup in Stamford, CT by Grizzly Junk Pros

Backyard chickens boomed across Connecticut, and a few years later, so did the number of empty coops. When the flock is gone and the coop is just a structure collecting spiders, we take out the whole installation — coop, run, fencing, posts, buried predator wire, and the bedding nobody wants to shovel — in a single visit, anywhere within about an hour of our Stamford or West Haven yards. Starting at $300, with the fixed price confirmed at a free walkthrough first.

It's the smallest structure category on our demolition menu and one of the most satisfying: half a day, and the corner of the yard is a corner of the yard again.

The whole setup goes, not just the box

A chicken coop is never just a coop by the time we see it. There's the run bolted to the side, the poultry wire stapled to posts, the hardware-cloth apron someone smartly buried a foot deep to keep the foxes out, the flagstone step, the latch hardware that fought raccoons for a decade and won.

Our quote covers the installation, not the object. Coop down, run dismantled, posts pulled — including concrete-set ones — and the buried wire dug out rather than snipped off at grade, because wire left in a lawn always finds the mower eventually. If part of the setup has a second life coming — a fencing run you want kept for the vegetable garden, a coop solid enough to give away — flag it at the walkthrough and we'll work to that line instead.

Bedding and cleanup, handled

The part of coop removal nobody wants to do themselves is the part under the roosts. Years of shavings, straw, and droppings come out with us — shoveled, bagged, and hauled with the structure. Gardeners, speak up before demo day: aged coop litter is some of the best compost input there is, and "leave the bedding pile by the compost bin, haul everything else" is a request we get and honor happily.

Feeders, waterers, heat lamps, and the rest of the accumulated chicken-keeping gear can ride along on the same truck. One visit, one quote, nothing left to deal with afterward.

Pricing, from the canonical tier

The starting price above pulls live from the same canonical pricing data as the demolition hub — no page-specific numbers, no drift. $300 is the floor for a standard prefab-scale coop with a modest run and clear access.

What we look at during the walkthrough before fixing your number: whether the coop is prefab-scale or a walk-in built like a small shed (walk-ins price closer to shed territory), how many linear feet of fencing and how the posts are set, how much wire is buried, and how far the carry to the truck is. The number you approve on site is the number on the invoice, and disposal — bedding included — is part of it.

Five steps to a clean corner

  1. Call (203) 219-8855 or send the demolition quote form. A couple of photos showing the coop, the run, and the fence line usually tell us most of what we need.
  2. Walkthrough. We check post settings, buried wire, and access, agree what stays (garden fence? compost pile?), and put the fixed price in writing.
  3. Schedule. Coop jobs are small enough to slot in quickly — often within the week.
  4. Removal day. Half-day, 2-person crew: structure down, fencing pulled, apron dug, bedding cleaned out, everything loaded.
  5. Done means done. Debris to licensed CT transfer stations in our trucks, metal fencing sorted for recycling, ground raked level. Disposal is in the price.

Same lane as all our demo work

Standalone backyard structures only — a coop is about as standalone as it gets, but the family rules ride along anyway: nothing attached to the house, no interior work, and permits (in the rare town where one applies to a coop) stay the homeowner's responsibility, with general guidance from us and the final word from your building department.

Chicken coop removal FAQs

Is the run and fencing included, or just the coop?
Included. A coop job to us means the whole setup: the coop structure, the attached run, the hardware-cloth or poultry-wire fencing, the posts, and whatever predator-proofing got buried around the perimeter over the years. Quoting the box and leaving you a fenced rectangle of nothing would be a half-finished job. If you want to keep part of the fencing for a garden, flag it at the walkthrough and we work around it.
What do you do with the bedding and droppings?
We clean it out as part of the job. Coop bedding — shavings, straw, accumulated droppings — gets shoveled, bagged, and hauled with the rest of the debris. If you garden, say so before demo day: aged coop litter is legitimately good compost input, and plenty of customers have us leave the bedding pile in a corner of the yard instead of hauling it. Fresh litter you want gone rides in the trucks like everything else.
How much does chicken coop removal cost?
Starting at $300 for a standard backyard coop and run. What pushes it up: walk-in coops built like small sheds, long fencing runs, concrete-set fence posts, and buried wire aprons that have to be dug out rather than pulled. It's one of the smallest tiers on our demolition price list, and the fixed number gets confirmed at the walkthrough like every other demo job.
Can you take the feeders, waterers, and leftover supplies too?
Yes — feeders, waterers, heat lamps, fencing scraps, the half-used bag of feed, all of it can go on the truck as part of the same visit. It's the same crew that runs our junk removal service, so 'while you're here' additions are easy; we just note them in the quote so the number stays honest.
How is buried predator wire handled?
Carefully, and with a shovel. Most well-built CT coops have hardware cloth skirted outward or buried a foot down around the run to stop foxes and raccoons from digging in. We dig the apron out and pull it rather than snipping it at grade — wire left in the ground surfaces years later, usually via a mower blade. It's the fiddliest part of most coop jobs and the reason a big run can outprice the coop itself.
Do I need a permit to remove a chicken coop?
Almost never for a backyard coop — but rules are town by town, so if yours was a permitted structure or sits close to a property line, a quick call to your building department is worth the five minutes. Where any permit applies, pulling it is the homeowner's side of the job, and we hold demo day until it's confirmed.
How long does the job take?
Half-day, 2-person crew covers nearly every backyard setup — teardown, fence pull, bedding cleanout, and load-out in a single visit. You can rehome the birds in the morning and have level ground by dinner. Bigger walk-in coops with long runs may run toward a full day, and we'll tell you which you have before we book it.
