CHICKEN COOP
This coop is also available with a run - see our other listings - we have found that some customers buy the coop and add the run later. (see photos at bottom of listing) If you have facilities to "free range" your chooks this coop makes an ideal night time lock up. The run is available separately for $140
WE TALKED TO THE EXPERTS - DID THE RESEARCH - AND CAME UP WITH THE DESIGN
This is a bit of a lengthy read but we hope you find it worthwhile ....................
This hen house has have been designed to WORK! - More than 500 sold!
The house contains two nesting boxes with outside access. (latched for locking) It contains two solid perches and has removable floors for easier cleaning.
The roof lifts and has stays that "click" into place. (We recommend caution when opening the roof in extremely windy weather) The roof is a timber composite, with a waterproof asphalt tile finish and coloured a pleasant green.
There are two access doors with ramps. They are lifted and held in place by padbolts when security is required. (night time) One at the front for access to a run and the other at the side for use when hens are being allowed to "free range" - We haven't seen this "two door" system on any coop on ebay.
To buy the materials to build this set up would cost you a lot more than our asking price - and yes, it is manufactured in China. Having some concerns about stories one hears about exploitation of labour, concern for the environment etc. we went to China to check it out. The factory that manufactures this product (and some of our other timber products) is situated in a very rural part of the country. The people in the villages in that area have survived previously on subsistence farming - they now have jobs - and their living standards are improving all the time. Also - the raw materials they use are coming from sustainable forest - for every two trees taken, they must plant three as replacements ......... sorry, I go on a bit.
Precision manufactured from cedar stained fir. All
weatherboards are tongue and grooved for superior strength and
stability. Finished with an animal friendly, UV and weather resistant
coating. For more information on the timber used in this product -
durability,termite resistance etc. go to www.conifers.org/cu/cun/index.htmWe would recommend that the house is suitable for up to half a dozen chooks - depending on breed/size of course. Not a bad idea to start off with a couple. Last time we had this coop/run we were inundated with requests on where to buy chooks. Here's a tip - type - pullets,chickens,chooks, your locality - into google. There's nothing quite like home grown organic eggs! - plus the kids (grandchildren in my case!) love collecting eggs and feeding etc.
The house comes flat packed. Assembly instructions are enclosed - along with ALL necessary hardware (bolts - screws - etc) It takes about 20 mins. to put together - A screwdriver is all that is required!
Dimensions - House overall (inc. nesting box) L 1470mm W 800mm H 800mm
Nesting box/s L 730mm W 290mm H 300mm
OK ....................... CHECK OUT THE REST - ESPECIALLY COMPARE SIZES - EASE OF USE - PRACTICALITY - ETC. - YOU MAY FIND CHEAPER BUT WE DON'T THINK YOU WILL FIND BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY. TAKE NOTE OF FREIGHT COSTS - YOU COULD PAY TOO MUCH! PLEASE COME BACK HERE AND WEIGH IT ALL UP BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION. - WE'VE SOLD MORE THAN 500 OF THESE! - WE'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME - AND WE EXPECT TO BE AROUND FOR SOME TIME YET.
