Workbench Level 1, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 2, 3.75s at Workbench Level 3.
Researching the blueprint costs 15 scrap at a Research Table.
Crates, barrels and NPCs that drop the Chicken Coop, most likely first
| From | Chance | Amount |
|---|---|---|
 Sunken Chest | 1.1% | 1 |
 Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
 Wagon Normal Crate | 0.44% | 1 |
Scientist | 0.16% | 1 |
Tunnel Dweller and Underwater Dweller | 0.16% | 1 |
Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any.

ClothA repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.
Each swing charges the share of the cost for 50 health, rounded up to whole resources, and restores as much health as it paid for, which can be more than 50. Nothing can be repaired for 30 seconds after it takes damage.
What the Chicken Coop gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 56 + 25% Metal Fragments, 75% Rope, 225 Wood |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 45 Metal Fragments, 60% Rope, 180 Wood |
| Green recycler | 50% | 37 + 50% Metal Fragments, 50% Rope, 150 Wood |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 30 Metal Fragments, 40% Rope, 120 Wood |
The Chicken Coop breaks down into Metal Fragments, Rope and Wood.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “56 + 25%” means 56 every time and a 25% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
In Rust, Chicken Coop is a deployable in the Deployables category (item ID #-2018158920, console shortname chickencoop). In active play, it follows standard server rules for deployable gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
An enclosure to keep some chickens around. Chickens with plenty of food, water and sunlight produce more eggs.
Crafting Chicken Coop in Rust takes 15 seconds at a Workbench Level 1 once the 15 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When choosing between Chicken Coop and related deployables in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (15 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 45-scrap tech tree path and save 30 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Coop | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 45 path | Not recyclable |
| Small Ramp | Deployables | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 15 node / 180 path | Not recyclable |
| Key Lock | Construction | 10 per slot | Crafted by hand | 10 scrap (Table) | Not recyclable |
| Skull Door Knocker | Deployables | 1 per slot | Crafted by hand | No blueprint | Not recyclable |

To compare Chicken Coop against every item in its inventory category, browse All 168 items in Deployables, or plan prerequisite scrap paths on the The Workbench Level 1 tech tree, tile by tile.
The Chicken Coop has 250 health once placed in Rust. It belongs to the Deployables category under numeric ID -2018158920 across 168 deployables, while F1 console command inventory.giveid -2018158920 1 spawns 1 unit for testing across 168 published Deployables entries (158 with crafting blueprints).
The Chicken Coop is crafted at a Workbench Level 1 from 300 Wood, 1 Rope and 75 Metal Fragments, once the blueprint is learned in Rust. Non-craftable components like Rope must be looted from monument crates or recycled gear before queuing the craft at your bench.
The Chicken Coop drops from 5 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Sunken Chest (1.1% chance), Normal Crate (0.44% chance), and Wagon Normal Crate (0.44% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.
The Chicken Coop recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 37 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more, a 50% chance of a Rope and 150 Wood. Undamaged copies return the full listed yield, whereas worn items scale their recycler output down in proportion to remaining durability.
The Chicken Coop takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 3 in Rust. It sits in the Deployables catalog with item ID -2018158920 alongside 167 related deployables, with F1 console command inventory.giveid -2018158920 1 across 168 published Deployables entries.
A repair bench fixes the Chicken Coop from broken for 60 Wood, 15 Metal Fragments and 6 Cloth, and a hammer takes it from broken to full in five swings for 149 Wood, 38 Metal Fragments and 16 Cloth in Rust.
Blueprint progression for Chicken Coop at Workbench Level 1 in Rust charges 15 scrap on the target node and 45 cumulative scrap along the prerequisite branch, while direct blueprint study at a Research Table charges 15 scrap.
Dropped on the ground in Rust, the Chicken Coop despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Chicken Coop has 32-bit signed item ID -2018158920 and shortname chickencoop in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Deployables category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Chicken Coop in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give chickencoop 1 or inventory.giveid -2018158920 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
