Hobby Hen House

The Hobby Hen House, with its leaning towards traditional Ark-style design, is a popular small chicken house particularly if you are starting out with poultry keeping.

Delivered assembled (cannot be flatpacked or disassembled).

The Hobby Hen House will take up to 6 medium-sized laying hens, it has removable perches and a removable internal nest tray.

For larger birds like Orpingtons we would suggest allowing a maximum of 4 hens (shown here with a trio of Pekin Bantams), not suitable for large cockerels though.

The Hobby Hen House is raised on small legs and has two handles on either end. The pop-hole door doubles as the ramp, the back door lifts out to allow easy access for cleaning and egg collecting.

You can add the VSD automatic pop-hole door opener at the same time as ordering the house - and we will fit this for you at no extra cost.

Select from the drop-down box for with or without heart window options and then choose whether you would like to add a Run at the same time. Choose to add either a 6ft long Run or a 9ft Run and save up to £20 when buying these together. The Run would arrive, with the hen house, in panels for simple self-assembly.
