Howdy. We’re coop.
We're a group of bonafide chicken people who love our backyard birds just as much as you do.
So much so, we made a business out of it.
How'd we hatch?
If you're Texan, you’ll remember the 2021 freeze—a tough time for locals, especially farmers.
That’s when the idea hatched: a smart coop to make backyard farming easier. We control lights and locks from our phones—why not our egg-laying pets too?
And so, Coop was born—a smart, automated home for happy backyard flocks.

Back up a bit.
Do you know anything about chickens?
Thankfully for our 26 backyard chickens, yes. We collectively have 30+ years of raising chickens.
It all started when coop co-founder and CEO AJ Forysthe rescued a chicken from Chinatown in Los Angeles, raising it in his tiny college apartment. But that's a story for another day.

So, why did we really build coop?
Glad you asked.
We're a small but mighty team of five, all with decades-plus of tech and farming backgrounds.
At this point in our careers, we all share a very important trait: we want to build stuff that matters.

Hatchin our coop.
We spent more than 10,000 hours designing our chicken coop.
(Which is hilarious.) Engineered for optimal user experience -feathered or not.
Built with purpose, backed by passion.
If we can reconnect people with the food on their plates and the dirt under their feet, we’ve succeeded.
