The Chicken Coop is a small wooden house for keeping chickens on a farm base. It protects the flock and gives a place to collect eggs.
It belongs to Carpentry and comes in several looks. The in-game tooltip says it keeps chickens safe and lets eggs be collected. It also reminds the keeper to close the doors at night. Any base that raises chickens needs one. Both looks cost the same and work the same, so the choice is about style.
How to Build Chicken Coop
The recipe is known from the start. Both looks ask for Carpentry level 3. Each one gives 30 Carpentry XP.
Each coop takes five Plank and five Nails. A hammer drives the nails and comes back after the build.
Planks come from sawing logs or taking apart wooden furniture. Nails are often found in the same places as hammers and other tools.
Place the coop inside a fenced yard, away from the paths zombies take.
Each version of the Chicken Coop has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.
It needs Carpentry level 3. Building it gives 30 Carpentry XP.

How to Use Chicken Coop
Chickens use the coop as their home. Eggs laid there can be collected from it.
The doors matter. The tooltip asks for them to be closed at night. Shutting the coop keeps the flock safe after dark.
Build it close to the farmhouse or the kitchen. Eggs are then easy to gather on a daily round.
Build Tiers
Both looks share the same materials, skill level and XP. Pick the one that fits the look of the farm.
Each version of the Chicken Coop is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
