The House:
This is a quality hen house made with 12.5mm shiplap timber and 12mm ply flooring.
Any aspect of this house can be altered to suit your requirements and is delivered ready built (nest box and legs are removed for safety)
The peak roof style of this house affords extra room for the birds than the standard flat roof houses. Also more suitable for cockerels!
Features:
-
Outer nesting box measuring 12 inches wide x 13 inches high. The depth will match the depth of the house i.e a small Gayton will have a 24 inch deep nest box. Opening lid for easy egg access and cleaning (the nest box can be mounted on either side)
-
Rear or side opening door for easy cleaning access - will be in the back if no preference is expressed
-
Air vent holes front & rear
-
Sliding pop hole door cover - will be vertical slide unless otherwise specified. If you order a run to go with the house, then it will be horizontal. This can be altered to a normal opening door at no extra charge (see 'Extras' below)
-
2 inner perches on Medium & Large, 1 in Small
-
Access ramp with runners - length depends on height of legs
-
Sturdy removable legs - the houses are set at 10 inches off the ground but this can be altered to a maximum of 18 inches at no extra cost
-
Ready stained in a choice of waterproof, wood protecting colours or can be left unstained if required

Runs:
We supply weldmesh runs to fit this hen house (see picture). You can add a run - please see 'Extras' below - or go to the weldmesh runs page for more details and other sizes
These runs are made from small 16 gauge 1/2" x 1/2" weldmesh wire so will keep out rodents and small birds therefore reducing the risk of disease. This is a rigid galvanised weldmesh so is strong and not floppy like chicken wire so is almost impossible for foxes to chew through
The height of the run will be altered to fit just under the eaves of the house
We can 'box in' the underneath of the house to create a dry area (see picture above). The height of the legs on the chosen house will then be altered to raise it 18 inches off the ground to allow your birds enough head room underneath.
This is made using wire panels (the back panel can be removed for easy access to the underneath of the house so is useful for storing feeders & drinkers) or can be enclosed with timber.
All runs have a top opening panel for access and can have an end opening panel for easy 'free ranging' at extra cost
These options are available in the 'Extras' section below and also on the run page
