Annie's Chicken Ark

This unit is a small version of our Haven Henhouse and suitable for a trio of small hens or bantams.

A lovely little flexible house and run which is also particularly suitable as a large Broody Coop for a hen and her brood to keep them safe and secure (once the chicks are of a certain age of course - say 4 or 5 weeks - so that they can safely negotiate the ramp).

You will find this house and run in our Pet House section too (minus the perches), great for Rabbits and Guinea Pigs. The heart window is not compulsory, just cute. If you don't want the window please mention this when ordering.

The Run is approx 6ft long x 3ft wide and 3ft high so plenty of space and headroom. There is access to the run from a side door, to close the ramp pop-hole, and another smaller access door under the house so you can put the feed and water in a sheltered part of the run.

The ramp has a solid back with steps so that small hens and chicks can climb up easily. Handles on either end make this a very easy to move unit. Inside is an nest tray with privacy wall and two perches, all of these can be removed for easy cleaning.

Access to the house is, as with the Haven Henhouse, a drop down door at the back for egg collecting and cleaning. See more photographs below.

Actual size: overall external measurements (inc handles) 225cm long x 96cm wide x 122cm max high. Internal house: 54cm x 80cm. Footprint: 190cm long x 96cm wide. Pop-hole 23cm square.
Please note: The VSB automatic Pop-hole opener does not fit this henhouse.

Currently 1 - 2 week delivery. This house will arrive wrapped and strapped on a pallet, via palletline lorry, in panels for you to simply screw together. Full easy to follow instructions included.

Please Note: Wherever possible we now use galvanised weldmesh with a green plastic coating on all runs to further enhance longevity. All images will show standard galvanised weldmesh.

All details as for the Annie's Ark above but this has an extended run to give your birds a little more room. Total unit length approx 3 metres.

A simple solution to prevent Foxes and Badgers digging under your Poultry Run.

The No Dig Skirt is 10 inch wide strips of 2" x 2" strong weldmesh ready to lay on the ground under the edges of your run and they are held in place with galvanised pegs (supplied with the skirt).

This small no-dig skirt would suit a run with a total footprint length of up to 20ft e.g. our Cottage Henhouse (approx. 4'x 4') or the 6ft and 9ft Runs for the Hobby Henhouse. Select this skirt also for the Haven Henhouse with 6ft run. If your run is non-Flyte so Fancy then just tell us the length by width and we will make the skirt accordingly.

There are the occasions when you may be away for the weekend, or on holiday and friends are in charge. This is an inexpensive way to give you the reassurance that the hens will be safe. The fox will instinctively want to dig right next to the base of the run and will not normally attempt to dig from several inches away.

Simply place the 10 inch wide strips of weldmesh on the ground around the outside of your run and peg in place. The mesh should be positioned so that the edge of the mesh is held under the base of the run (see photo) and then pegged down to hold in place (metal pegs included).

No-Dig Skirts are also available for larger runs up to 9' x 15' and for over 9' x 15' - again though if they are not Flyte so Fancy made, then just tell us the size you require.

Small Plywood Dirt Tray to sit under the perches of your Annie' Ark or Annie's Coop (large dirt tray shown in image).

To create a permanent site for your chickens - and to save you having to move the Run every few weeks - why not consider this package to make a secure (fox-proof), level surface for your Chicken Run by raising it on a timber plinth and filling the inside surface with woodchip.

The woodchip is an excellent, hygienic, surface for the birds - almost self-cleaning. Just wash through with a garden hose if we haven't had any rain, refresh perhaps twice a year, and you can just scatter some powder disinfectant over it once a month to keep it fresh. Much more healthy than bare soil for the birds, and much less smelly too.

The packs contain a set of pressure treated timbers, 10in x 5in, to create a raised plinth for your Annie's Ark and the right number of bags of hardwood woodchip to create a clean, perfect surface for the hens. The sleepers (as shown, softwood tanalised - not oak) will be cut to the lengths required and will come with an instruction sheet to aid placement (its just like putting lego together really!).
