A Compact Mobile Chicken Coop for Smaller Flocks
The Porta Coop 4' × 5' Haven Mobile Chicken Coop is a covered, open-air poultry enclosure designed to bring fresh-ground rotation to smaller flocks. Instead of keeping birds on the same patch of ground, its mobile design allows you to regularly move the enclosure to fresh areas while keeping your flock contained.
Porta Coop's one-step moving system is designed so your birds walk along inside the enclosure during the move, eliminating the need to catch and relocate the flock separately. Flat-free wheels make moving easier, while an extra-tall door provides convenient access for feeding, tending your birds, and loading poultry when needed.
Built around a 1" × 1", 14-gauge steel tubing frame, the Haven features 14-gauge welded wire with 1" × 2" openings and a heavy-duty UV-resistant tarp that creates a covered area within the enclosure. Steel components are powder-coated after welding for added durability and protection. The result is a compact mobile chicken coop for backyard poultry keepers and homesteaders who want to incorporate fresh-ground rotation into their flock management.

Care & Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps keep your Haven performing as intended. Porta Coop recommends checking and tightening loose fasteners every 3–6 months and inspecting the powder coating annually for scuffs, scratches, or damaged areas that may need touch-up.
The tarp can be repaired with a quality canvas patch kit if damaged, and Porta Coop recommends replacing the ball bungees as they lose elasticity over time. Replacement parts are available from Porta Coop.
Important: Porta Coop instructs owners to position the coop so that it does not face directly into the wind to help prevent damage.
Cold-Weather Use
The Haven can perform well in southern and milder winter climates, as well as climates that experience cold temperatures with minimal snowfall.
The winter-use limitation for the Haven relates specifically to its roof: Haven roofs are not designed to withstand significant snow loads. If your area regularly receives significant snowfall, consider a Porta Coop Heritage model instead.
Need More Room for Your Flock?
If your flock needs more space, the Porta Coop Haven is also available in 6' × 8' and 10' × 12' models, giving you room to accommodate larger flocks while keeping the same mobile coop design.
