Our Chicken Barn is made from recycled plastic and is suitable for a maximum of 7 large fowl or 16 bantams. It has two double nest boxes, each with rollway inserts to keep the eggs clean, and three removable perches.

 Our Chicken Barn is made from recycled plastic and will hold a maximum of 8 large fowl or 17 bantams. It has 3 removable perches. The door is designed so that it won’t trap dirt in the door slots, and it can be easily opened and closed. Access to inspect the birds can be gained via a full width back door which detaches using quick release pins. When the door is removed, there is no ‘lip’ on the floor edge. This, and the fact that the roof removes in seconds as well, makes regular cleaning a breeze.

Access to the nesting box is quick and easy – just remove 2 quick release pins and lift off the lid. The Nest Box has roll-away nest box inserts to help keep the eggs clean. The outside wall of the nest box can be quickly and easily removed for cleaning by undoing 3 quick release pins. If required, the entire nest box can be detached from the Barn by removing 4 quick release pins.

The Barn has 2 adjustable circular vents and permanent under-eave ventilation. Even though the walls are made from black plastic, the house remains surprisingly cool, even in strong, direct summer sunlight. Being plastic, the houses require no maintenance. There are few crevices for pests (such as red mite) to hide in, and the house can be thoroughly cleaned very easily – in seconds if you have a pressure washer. And it will dry out very quickly, too.

Even though the Barn is quite large, it can still be readily moved by two people. If you need to dismantle your hen house for any reason, perhaps because you are moving house for example, you can easily do so and then rebuild it just as easily. Your hen house will not be damaged by this process.

ECO CHICKEN WAGON The Poultry Club of Great Britain Guidelines indicate that this house would be suitable for up to 7 large fowl or 17 bantams. However, we recommend a little more space per bird, and suggest that it is ideal for up to 6 larger birds or 12 bantams. It has two individual nest boxes, each with a roll-away nest box insert, which helps keep eggs clean. Once laid, they roll backwards into a collecting area which is covered by a flap. Easy access to the collecting area is provided by a lockable sliding cover at the rear of the house. The nest boxes can be easily removed, if required. Access to inspect the birds and for cleaning is via a full-height front door which can be quickly opened, yet securely fastened in just a few seconds. Easy access makes regular cleaning a breeze. Permanent ventilation is provided under the roof at the front, with two additional fully adjustable circular vents at the back, so the house remains surprisingly cool, even in strong, direct summer sunlight. Being plastic, the Wagon requires no routine maintenance. There are few crevices for pests (such as red mite) to hide in, and the house can be thoroughly cleaned very easily - in seconds if you have a pressure washer. And it will dry out very quickly, too. This house can be easily moved by one person, and its large wheels means that it won't sink into the ground. If you ever need to dismantle your Chicken Wagon for any reason, you can easily do so and then rebuild it just as easily. Your wagon will not be damaged by this process.
