No coop is complete without a sign….so this week, we’ve complied 6 must-have DIY signs that are perfect for any coop!
You can make your own rustic sign using our plans here or use the photos below as inspiration for your own!
Luckily, building a farmhouse style sign takes little more than a plank of wood (you can even buy those at big box stores!), some paint, and your imagination.
Using a finish nailer or just a hammer, you can easily add it to your coop for some fun decor!
Turn your coop into a palace for your hens!
We love how adorable this sign is – and it’s perfect for making your hens feel like royalty!
Add rose petals to their nesting boxes, and your flock is all set!

An Old Timey Western Style Sign!
I love coops that use western-style architecture, and this sign using western-style font looks perfect on them!
I especially love how it stands out against the yellow background. I bet some happy hens live there!

Let the world know YOUR pet makes you breakfast!
This sign is hilarious….and true! Chickens ARE the only pet that makes you breakfast!
To make this sign, you can use pallet wood, paint it red, then use stencils for the letters and hen!
