Suitable for up to 10 large fowl and 20 bantams, our gypsy caravan-style hen house is one that really turns heads!
It boasts a variety of features designed to be both aesthetically pleasing but also crucially to make hen-keeping easier for you! The caravan features moveable cart wheels, a really attractive feature, but also practical as it enables you to relocate the coop to other areas in the garden minimising damage to lawn areas that may otherwise experience overuse by your hens or become patchy as the grass is prevented from accessing sunlight. It also includes a large rear access door for easy cleaning. The integrated nest box is attached to the rear door to make egg collecting quick and easy. The coop can incorporate up to three perches to accomodate all the chooks..
The caravan can further be accessed from above as the roof opens entirely along one side to enable easy cleaning and access to hens when required. The hens can benefit from a shelter to the front as the roof extends beyond the front elevation by approximately 30omm. Finally, the chickens can enter/vacate the coop through a pop hole to the front.
The caravan is raised approximately 300mm from the ground keeping the main body of the coop free from damp, preventing vermin, and also to act as a shelter for the hens in heavy rain and wind.
The caravan is constructed from quality locally sourced timber and clad in tongue and groove to prevent water ingress. The coop is further painted to increase its water resistance but also to make it look beautiful! As standard, the coop is painted in cream, but traditional green and red colours or other are available so please enquire, If you would like decoration of your own choosing please let us know, and if possible have an image handy, or the coop can be delivered without decoration.
Finally, the coop is finished with black antique style quality fittings including hinges, bolts and handles.
