Handy Hen Houses

This Small Handy Hen House is a compact hen house for 4 hens - a 'Portable Pocket Henhouse' if you will!

DELIVERED ASSEMBLED.

With a simple Internal Nest Box Tray and a freestanding perch rack, it is spacious enough inside with headroom for a cockerel so it could comfortably take 3 average sized laying hens and a cockerel. Perfect for up to 6 Bantam Hens too.

The Handy is raised off the ground on 6inch legs with a solid 9mm plywood floor and thick shiplap timber walls - see the page on the left About our Houses for details of the materials we use.

The 'Never-Leak' Roof is made of a low-maintenance, (shown light grey but currently black), UV stable, recycled 9mm polypropylene - no roofing felt for nasty mites to hide in; no leaky corners; lightweight to reduce weight and help portability.

The front door opens wide for access, easy for collecting eggs and easy to clean. It has our heart-shaped perspex window in the door (not compulsory, just cute - let us know using the drop-down box above if you don't want this).

Ventilation louvres on either side also act as carrying handles and they are meshed inside to prevent vermin intrusion. It is raised up on 6-inch legs to help keep it dry and to prevent vermin living underneath. The pop-hole on the right-hand side has a ramp which also folds up to close securely with a galvanised bolt.

Option below to add the VSD Door Opener Kit for a Handy Henhouse which we would fit for you if ordered at the same time as the hen house. Wired Chicken Runs are also available to attach to the Handy 4 Henhouse, 6ft and 9ft long Runs, to keep the hens secure.

Measures externally overall: 84cm wide x 95cm deep x 1m high. Internally: 70cm x 80cm x 76cm high. Pop-hole 25cm wide x 30cm high.

Currently approx 6 weeks delivery. This house is delivered ready assembled on a pallet via Palletline Transport Company. Expected delivery date will be detailed in separate confirmation email.

DELIVERED ASSEMBLED.

The Handy 10 Hen House is a simply designed mobile chicken house suitable for up to 10 average size hens. It has external nestboxes at the back, two wheels on one side so it can be wheeled like a wheelbarrow and four handles if lifting is necessary.

The pop-hole on the right-hand side has a ramp which, when folded up, is secured by a bolt. Good ventilation, without being in a draught, is important for hens so the Handy Hen House has meshed ventilation louvres on each side.

Our trade-mark heart shaped polycarbonate window in the door allows light in - and makes it look cute too. If you would prefer no window then please use the drop down box to select.

There are options to add a 9ft or 12ft Run which would attach to the side of the house and you can fit an internal automatic door opener e.g. VSD kit or Chickenguard AS model with door.

A 6ft long enclosed wired run to fit to the side of our Handy 4 Hen House. Run size is approx 2ft-3ft high (depending on which house) x 2ft 3in wide and 6ft long.

It has a pop-hole at the end of the run, for the hens to 'pop' in and out if you wish, or for you to access a feeder. It secures against the pophole side of the house with a hook and chain and has a bracing bar to ensure the birds cannot escape under the house itself. Access near to the house is from a top access panel of the run.

A 6ft Run will provide enough space for 3 - 4 bantam hens if using for enclosing them permanently, however, we would advise that for more or larger birds that it be used only for relatively temporary periods e.g. whilst at work to keep them safe, or to home them when they are new. This is not only for the welfare of the birds but also because the ground would become muddy very quickly.

Dimensions: 6ft Run for Handy 4 - 186cm long x 79cm wide x 67cm high

Wired in strong half inch x one inch green-coated galvanised weldmesh on pressure treated timber framing. The run is made in panels for you to screw together, full instructions included.

This run is delivered flatpacked, via courier when ordered separately, and delivery charge will be from £14.60. If ordered with the henhouse then it will arrive in panels together with the house on the pallet.

We have put together a complete VSD Kit for the Automatic Door Opener to suit FSF Handy Hen Houses, so you can buy the kit in one click. Shown here mounted inside the Handy 10 Henhouse (Handy 4 varies slightly due to pop-hole position and perches).

If ordering at the same time as the hen house we will fit it for you, if retro fitting, the VSD and lightweight door are fitted inside the henhouse so the pop-hole ramp remains as it is.

Full details of how the VSD units work can be found on this page: VSD Door Openers.
If you want to give yourself more control over the opening or closing of the door, the VSD comes with a manual override system, which can be incorporated with an additional cable. Or if you find yourself dealing with a particularly rebellious hen who refuses to go in before dark, the Digital Battery Timer is the perfect way to fine tune your opening and closing times.

Kit contains:
VSD Door Opener
External Light Sensor Cable
VSD Lightweight Aluminium Door (but trimmed down to fit)
FSF Instruction booklet
