Chicken Coops

Choosing the right chicken coop

As a rule of thumb, allow at least 30cm of perch space per large hen and one nest box for every three or four birds. Good ventilation above head height keeps the air fresh without creating draughts at roosting level, and a slide-out tray or removable floor makes the weekly clean a five-minute job.

Timber or recycled plastic?

Our timber coops are built from slow-grown, pressure-treated spruce for strength and a natural look that blends into any garden. Recycled-plastic coops cost a little more but have no cracks or crevices for red mite to hide in and can be pressure-washed in minutes.

Predator protection

Every coop uses 19-gauge welded mesh, fox-proof barrel bolts and solid floors. Pair a coop with one of our walk-in runs for complete peace of mind.
