The Hobby Henhouse, with its leaning towards traditional Ark-style design, is a popular small house particularly if you are starting out with poultry keeping. Suitable for up to 6 hens and with a 6ft wired run to sit in front. The run is not fixed so can be moved independently and simply fits snugly under the eaves of the house.

There is an access door near the house so you can reach the pop-hole and a door at the end so that the hens can be left to roam without having to move the run and so you can place feeder and drinker in easily..

For even more security against all predators, take a look at the Small No-Dig Skirt or the Anti-Fox Electric Fence. There is also an option of having Fixed Axle Wheels added to the house which will make moving the house very easy.

This is a good choice if you only have a few hens and need to keep them safe and secure while you are at work or away for the weekend. A very good choice for ex-battery hens.

Currently 1 - 2 week delivery. This house and run is delivered with the house ready built (just screw the handles back on), and the run is flatpacked with instuctions provided. Delivery will be on a pallet via Palletline. Exact delivery date will be detailed in separate confirmation email.

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.
